Foreign Exchange Payments

With iBanFirst, making a payment from an account in a currency different from the beneficiary’s currency is seamless. Two operations occur simultaneously:

  • A payment

  • A currency conversion

The rate applicable to the currency conversion that is part of the payment is displayed in Step 2, just like for a regular currency conversion.

Payment execution and credit timeline

Once validated, the payment will be sent on the selected date, if the payment account balance is sufficient.

The beneficiary will be be notified by email when the payment is sent.

It will be credited on the beneficiary account depending on the beneficiary bank, country, currency, and applicable cut-off time.

Advanced payment validation rules

iBanFirst allows companies to setup payment validation rules, to reflect their own payment validation rules and internal controls. Learn more about setting up advanced payment validation rules.
