One platform. Total control

Multi-currency accounts, virtual IBAN and sub-account creation on one platform. Simplify reconciliation and increase operational control.

With traditional providers, you’re probably experiencing…

Limited currency coverage

Outdated core banking systems and reliance on correspondent networks restrict the range of currencies available. This coverage is too narrow for a competitive, global Fintech offering, often excluding emerging market corridors and weakening your value proposition.

Slow product releases and improvements

Monolithic infrastructure and layered governance models make it difficult to launch new capabilities or respond to changing customer demands. A slower pace of change can translate to lost competitive advantage.

Fragmented operations

To enable cross-border payments, Fintechs are often forced to juggle multiple providers across different jurisdictions, leading to a time-consuming operational burden and increased reconciliation risk.

Trapped capital

Pre-funding multiple currencies across jurisdictions ties up working capital, reduces liquidity and limits the ability to support real-time payment flows at scale. As transaction volumes grow this becomes more of a drag.

With decades of experience working with Fintechs, and a modern platform built from the ground up, we’re equipped to deliver your competitive advantage. We’re ready to partner with organisations that need a better alternative to legacy institutions.

FAQs

Exchange rates fluctuate constantly, which can impact your bottom line. To manage currency risk, you can:

  • Hold multiple currencies – Use a multi-currency account to control when you convert.
  • Lock in rates – Fix a rate for future payments with forward contracts.
  • Match currency flows – Pay and get paid in the same currency where possible.
  • Net payments – Offset inflows and outflows to minimise conversions.
  • Track the market – Stay informed or get expert guidance when rates move.
  • Improve liquidity visibility and working capital by reducing unnecessary conversion delays.

A spot contract is when you agree to buy or sell currency at the current market price or spot price. It’s typically used when you need to move quickly. Maybe you’re covering operational expenses, reacting to market shifts, or just settling a transaction right away.

A forward contract on the other hand is when you agree to buy and sell at a specific price on a specified date in the future. These are a good way to manage currency risk, especially when you have upcoming foreign currency costs or incoming international payments and want more certainty around your cash flow.

Used together, spot and forward contracts give financial teams more control. They help you stay flexible in the short term while protecting margins and managing exposure over the long term.

IFX Payments is not a bank. We’re a payment services and foreign exchange services provider for businesses. We provide access to accounts that support receiving, holding, and sending money in multiple currencies, which is ideal if you operate across borders.

Though our platform offers some features similar to banks, like multi-currency capabilities and international transfers, we don’t offer services such as debit cards, standard current accounts, or business loans. Instead, we focus solely on end-to-end global payment processing, delivering faster turnaround times, fewer limitations, and highly competitive exchange rates that help you stay agile in international business.

We’re regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, ensuring secure and compliant operations for our clients.
