The Wise Business Account costs $65 for the initial set-up, with ongoing fees depending on the features you use. However, you can trust Wise to keep exchange rates at the mid-market rate, and apply volume discounts when you spend over $40,0007.

The FX landscape is evolving rapidly, but our focus remains the same: providing a better, fairer way to move money. From multi-currency accounts and automated payment workflows to corporate cards and FX risk management support, OFX is building an innovative financial platform for all of your FX needs including:

  • Limit OrdersThis is another risk management option that allows you to set the rate you are comfortable with and, once the exchange rate hits that point, an FX specialist will get in touch to let you know it’s time to complete your transfer.
  • Currency OutlookOur monthly Currency Outlook brings together insights from our treasury experts with key market movements and global events to provide a clear view of projected currency trends.
  • Spot Transfers A Spot Transfer is an instant exchange that you make “on the spot”. OFX will show you the two currencies and a highly competitive rate, updated in real-time. 
  • OFX’s Global Business Account In addition to our FX products, OFX offers a Global Business Account that combines with Corporate Cards to create a single airtight expense control system.

Together, these capabilities and the OFX Global Financial Platform help manage currency exposure, improve cash flow, and support smarter financial decisions. It’s this combination of powerful technology and human expertise that CNBC Select identified as setting OFX apart in a crowded global payments landscape.

That recognition reflects what our clients experience every day: a simpler, more transparent way to move and manage money globally. And as we continue to innovate and expand, our commitment remains unchanged, helping you save time, reduce complexity, and keep more of your money.

Unlock the potential of true AI-enabled finance leadership.

Most finance transformation conversations start in the wrong place.  They focus on automation, AI tools, or system upgrades, as if the core challenge is a lack of capability. But in practice, finance teams already have more systems, more data, and more tools than ever before.  The problem is not the absence of technology. It’s the structure underneath it.
