FX solutions for transport and logistics companies
Fuel, port fees and customs duties do not wait, and neither should your FX. Get real-time rates and same-day settlements to keep your fleet moving and your margins intact.
Why does FX matter in transport and logistics?
Transport and logistics companies pay for fuel, port fees, customs duties, carriers and agents in several currencies, often on short notice, while revenue may arrive in another. Small rate moves on high-volume payments add up. FinXtra helps you pay quickly in the right currency, lock rates on predictable costs with forward contracts and collect in foreign currencies, with access to wholesale FX liquidity.
Who we help
How FinXtra works for your business
Pay when the cost arrives, not when it is convenient
Costs in transport rarely wait for a convenient week. We give you real-time rates and same-day settlements so a port fee or customs payment does not hold up a shipment. Settlement timing depends on the currency, country and when the payment is funded, so ask us what applies to your routes.

FX for transport and logistics: common questions
How fast can I pay a foreign supplier or fee?
We offer real-time rates and same-day settlements. Timing depends on the currency, country and when the payment is funded, so we confirm what applies in your analysis.
Can I hedge costs that change month to month?
Forward contracts can lock a rate for up to five years, so you can cover part of a predictable cost base. We help you decide how much to lock.
Can I pay agents and carriers in their own currency?
Yes. You can send payments in 135+ currencies. Ask us about the currency and country you need.
How can I fund a payment?
Options include bill payments, electronic funds transfers, bank wire transfers and pre-authorized direct debits. For security and regulatory compliance, cheques and cash are not accepted.
Do I need to post collateral to hedge?
Ask us about zero margin forwards, which have no upfront collateral requirement for qualifying clients. We confirm the terms for your situation during your free analysis.
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.
