The challenge – The FX stress eating a finance team’s entire week
As the Staysure Legends Tour has grown internationally, so has the complexity of its payment operations. Tournaments take place across multiple countries, prize funds are denominated in different currencies. The window between an event and payments is tight. And managing it internally was time-consuming and stressful for a finance team.
As Senior Finance Manager Daniel Munro explains:
Dealing with international payments can be complex and time-intensive — we needed a partner who could take that pressure away.

The solution – How a payment partner became the infrastructure behind every tournament
The Staysure Legends Tour didn’t choose OFX for the exchange rates. They chose it because the finance team needed an expert partner, not just a platform. What they found was both. Foreign exchange expertise, international transfers and corporate expenses, all managed in one place. A dedicated account manager who knows the business, understands the tournament calendar, and picks up when it matters.
Taking the pain out of FX
One of the most immediate benefits of working with OFX has been the expertise and support from the team. Previously, navigating international payments required the team to monitor rates, manage the mechanics of transfers, and deal with the uncertainty that comes with moving large sums across borders. OFX handles all of that, giving the finance team back hours they can spend elsewhere.
An intuitive platform
The OFX platform was built with ease of use in mind, and that shows in day-to-day use. Payments can go out in minutes, not half a day. No steep learning curve, no extra resource, just a platform that works when the pressure is on.
“The platform is really easy to use — it simplifies how we manage our foreign exchange and financial operations.”
Dedicated, responsive support
When a payment is time-sensitive, response time matters. The Staysure Legends Tour has a dedicated account manager who knows the business, knows the timelines, and picks up. It’s the kind of relationship that goes beyond a transactional service provider and feels more like a trusted extension of the team.
“Our dedicated account manager is always on hand and quick to respond — that’s what we really value.”
A simple FX approach that works
The Staysure Legends Tour keeps its approach to international payments straightforward and easy to manage. By focusing on simple, real-time transactions, the team avoids unnecessary complexity and reduces administrative effort. It’s a model that fits the way the tour operates, giving the finance team clarity, control, and confidence without adding extra layers to the process.
The results: faster payments, less stress
The impact of partnering with OFX has been felt across the finance function , from international transfers to day-to-day expense management. Managing prize money conversions is simple and more reliable than before. The administrative burden around international payments has reduced significantly, freeing the team to focus on higher-value work. And perhaps most importantly, the finance team now approaches live events with a level of confidence they didn’t always have, knowing that when a tournament wraps, the payment process will run smoothly without demanding their full attention.
For an organisation where reputation matters and players expect to be paid promptly and correctly, that reliability is valuable.
Supporting global growth
The tour keeps growing: more markets, more currencies and more suppliers. Luckily, the payment infrastructure grows with us. Having OFX as a trusted partner means the finance team can scale with confidence, knowing there’s an experienced, responsive team behind every transaction and a platform that makes global payments feel simple, wherever the tour goes next.
