Earn like a local when selling overseas
With a World Account, receive international payments like a local transfer with all the benefits –fast payments, no currency exchange and no hidden costs.
Pricing, or margin, is the difference between the rate we buy currency at and the rate we offer it to you.
Most banks and currency exchange providers hide this extra cost in the exchange rate you receive as the customer. Some banks may take up to 5% extra and then add a fixed fee on top. The true cost of your transfer is the hidden charge plus any other fees.
