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

Freight forwarders and carriers
You pay agents, carriers and partners abroad in their own currency, often under tight deadlines.
Operators with port and customs costs
Port fees and customs duties arrive in local currency. Real-time rates and fast settlement keep a payment from holding up a shipment.
Fleets with foreign-currency costs
When a large share of your costs is paid abroad, transparent exchange rates and a locked rate on predictable costs help protect your margin.

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.

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?

How can I fund a payment?

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.
