Switch to online payments.
Everything you need to know about transferring online.
01
How does the online payment platform work ?
FX Paymaster’s international payment platform allows individuals and businesses to transfer money across borders quickly and securely. Users can create an account online, select the currencies they want to exchange, and specify the amount to be sent. FX Paymaster will then provide a quote with the exchange rate and any associated fees. Once the user agrees to the quote, they can fund the transaction via bank transfer. The recipient will receive the transferred funds in their local currency, usually within one to two business days.

Can I try the online platform without opening an account ?
