Family support and emergency transfers: common questions
How fast can money reach my family?
It depends on the currency, the country and when you fund the payment. Tell us your deadline and we confirm what is realistic before you send.
Which currencies can I send?
You can send payments in 135+ currencies. Ask us about the country you are sending to.
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.
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.
Are there account opening fees?
Opening an account is completely free, and you get full access to the platform.
Is FinXtra regulated?
