What to look for in a global payments provider

Competitive rates
Your profits can be impacted by exchange rate margins and transaction fees. Look for a provider with good rates and low FX fees, keeping in mind that a better rate may make the fee negligible.

Specialist service
If you’re regularly bringing your hard-earned revenue home, you need a company that can provide consistent client service and understands your unique business needs. Find a provider that won’t treat you like just another number.

Speed
Global payments should move quickly. Major currency conversions can often be processed within one day. This means you can worry less about when your money is going to arrive. Within that time, exchange rates may move dramatically, costing your business substantially.

Multi-currency accounts
Find a foreign payments provider who offers local currency accounts to receive funds from customers in their preferred currency. That way you can minimise the costly conversion fees, and insulate your business from currency volatility.

Reliability
Look for a provider with a proven track record of stability, particularly during high-demand trading events such as Brexit and major elections.
