Comprehensive Payment Platform with In-House FX Services
As a UK business owner, you need a payment solution that can handle high transaction volumes and keep pace with your growth. That’s why our platform is designed with your needs in mind:
- Foreign Exchange (FX) services allow you to manage international payments and currency conversions seamlessly. No third-party hassle, no delays—just efficient operations that keep your global customers happy. With FX fully integrated into our system, you can process transactions in multiple currencies. Simplify your financial operations, and speed up transactions. It’s all about helping you work smarter and giving your customers a seamless experience, no matter where they’re from.
- Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) makes it easy for international customers to pay in their home currency while giving you a share of the conversion fees. It’s a win-win for you and your customers. By allowing customers to pay in their home currency at the point of sale or online, DCC adds convenience and clarity to the payment process. This feature enables customers to see the total cost in a familiar currency, giving them full transparency and avoiding potential surprises from foreign exchange fees by their banks.
With our reliable infrastructure and merchant-first approach, you can focus on what matters most—running your business and keeping your customers coming back.
