Why do global merchants need multi-currency accounts?

Merchants who sell in several markets are paid in several currencies. Converting every payout at a default rate eats into retail margins. With multi-currency collection accounts you collect in the currency your customers pay in, hold the balance and convert when it suits you, and pay suppliers from the same balance. Transactions run on wholesale FX liquidity.

Who we help

Online merchants selling abroad
Your customers pay in their own currency. You collect it and hold it, instead of converting every payout straight away.
Multi-market retailers
You sell in several countries and need to keep each market's receipts organized and converted when the rate suits you.
High-volume sellers with overseas suppliers
Hold what you collect in USD, EUR or GBP and pay suppliers in the same currency, so you avoid converting back and forth.

FX for e-commerce and retail: common questions

Which currencies can I collect?

You can collect 35 currencies. Contact us to confirm availability for the currency you need.

Can I pay suppliers from the same balance?

Yes. Currency accounts let you collect funds and initiate outgoing payments.

Can I choose when to convert?

Yes. You can hold a balance in the currency you collected, and use limit orders to set the exchange rate you want and trade automatically when the market reaches it.

Are there account opening fees?

Opening an account is completely free, and you get full access to the platform.

Why are your rates better than my bank's preferential rates?

Banks often waive small transaction fees but keep a wide markup on the exchange rate itself, which is where the real cost sits. We give you access to wholesale FX liquidity usually reserved for large corporations, with transparent, market-linked pricing.

Is FinXtra regulated?

FinXtra works with Ebury, which provides the payment and foreign exchange services. Ebury Canada is registered with FINTRAC, and all client funds are held with Ebury Canada in line with regulatory standards. See the regulatory disclosure at the bottom of this page for the US, UK and Mexico.

This page is general information, not financial advice. Services are subject to eligibility and approval. Hedging fixes your rate in both directions.
