Transparent.

You always know what you’re going to pay because you can see your total cost before you lock in your request. Use our quick quote at any time to check the current rates.

Fast and convenient.

Set up an online payment at any time, with no restrictions on the amount you can send. Most transfers to EU, US or UK complete in two business days or less, and you can track the status of your transfers online. Your recipient information is saved so you save time when sending recurring payments. Customer service is available at any time to help you with your questions.

Secure and confidential.

fxGlobalTransfer employs the latest in security and encryption technology to ensure your transactions remain private and secure. We use the same security mechanisms as online banking sites (128-bit SSL) to protect your data. We also use ServerVault to host our servers — the first commercial data center to meet Department of Defense standards for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) protection.

Full regulatory compliance means fewer restrictions for our clients. For example, with fxGlobalTransfer there are no minimum or maximum transfer limits.
