TorFX Business Account Payments

Send or Receive Money from Overseas as a Business with TorFX

There are several ways to send or receive money from overseas as a business and until fairly recently, most international transactions happened via standard bank transfers. With TorFX, sending regular business payments overseas to pay for employees, products, services, overheads or other business costs is cheaper, quicker and easier than using a high street bank service. TorFX offers a low-cost and faster alternative to international bank transfers.

For businesses who send regular amounts overseas to make payments in the UK Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR) and many other popular global currencies, using a specialist FX transfer provider like TorFX is a money saving decision if your transfers exceed £500 per month. Business money transfer payments are very competitive with TorFX, example GBP vs EUR exchange rates:

Transfer exchange rates are calculated and updated hourly (Monday to Friday) from 8 am to 4 pm UK – GMT

*Note: Dependent on the contract selected and the currencies involved, the converted currency is usually transferred to the recipient account within 1 to 2 working days, although if TorFX have funds on account prior to booking your trade the transfer can be made immediately subject to normal banking cut off times.

Maximising your company’s potential can be challenging, but getting the best return on your international money transfers shouldn’t be. Connecting your business with excellent currency rates should be stress-free, simple, cost-effective and whatever industry you’re in, TorFX can save you money.

TorFX Business Account Services – Overview

Spot Contract – With this form of contract currencies are exchanged ‘on the spot’ – meaning TorFX secure you the most competitive exchange rate available whenever you need to buy or sell a currency for immediate settlement.

Forward Contract – Forward contracts can be particularly useful when budgeting for a future currency exchange as they allow you to fix a rate in advance. With TorFX you can fix the rate up to two years before you need to send or receive the currency, giving you far greater flexibility and security while supporting your financial planning.

24/7 Transfers – While you can arrange transfers of any size over the phone with your Account Manager, you can use Business Online to transfer up to £100,000 24/7. With Business Online you can also set up rate alerts, add beneficiaries and view your transfer history.

TorFX can also help you optimise your trading with different order types:

Limit Order – If you don’t want to transfer your funds at the current rate you can leave a Limit Order with your Account Manager targeting a specific exchange rate. TorFX will automatically execute your transfer when your target rate becomes available.

Stop Loss Order – If you don’t want to move your money at the current rate but are concerned that it may worsen and wish to control this risk, you can ask TorFX to execute your transfer if the exchange rate deteriorates to your specified level. This allows you to wait for a better rate, but lock in a worst-case rate should the market move against you.

Market Insight – Register your business with TorFX and you’ll be assigned a dedicated Account Manager to oversee all of your foreign currency requirements. Your business will also benefit from having access to in-depth analysis prepared by market technicians, whose fundamental and technical approach to gauging currency trends can help you minimise risk and optimise the timing of your transfers.
