If you find it necessary to cancel a conversion due to an error in booking or any other reason, please reach out to your account manager or contact [email protected]. Provide the deal reference number and specify your intention to cancel. If the trade has not yet settled, we can assist you in cancelling it. However, if the trade has already been settled, the only option would be to convert the currency back. Please note that cancelling a conversion may incur costs, including the spread between buying and selling rates, as well as any fluctuations in the exchange rate between booking and cancellation.

To cancel a payment that has not yet been dispatched, navigate to the ‘Payments’ tab under the ‘Search’ menu. Here, you will find all your pending outbound payments. Locate the payment you wish to cancel, select it, and click on ‘Cancel Payment’. If the payment has already been dispatched, it cannot be cancelled. However, you can request a recall of the funds by contacting [email protected].

To recall a payment that has already been dispatched, please contact your account manager or email [email protected], quoting the payment reference number of the payment you want to recall. Please note, recalls are only performed on a ‘best endeavours’ basis, as they require the cooperation of corresponding and receiving banks, along with approval from the beneficiary. We are unable to seek an update until seven business days have passed to ensure standard handling time for the message to be processed. It’s important to note that we can only place one recall on a payment, and these recalls cannot be cancelled once initiated

If you receive a payment failed notification email, it indicates that the international payment was returned to your account. This can happen for various reasons. The payment failed notification email will include a reason field; for example, ‘INVALID BIC CODE’ would suggest that the BIC code was entered incorrectly. In such cases, you should delete the beneficiary and set it up again, paying closer attention to the bank details. Occasionally, the correspondent bank may deduct their processing fees from the funds sent, which will be reflected in the returned amount.

Funds dispatched via the SWIFT network typically arrive within a few hours. However, in some cases, it can take 1-2 business days to reach the beneficiary. For local payment routes like SEPA, it may take a day or two longer.

Intermediary (corresponding bank) fees are small charges, usually between £5 and £25, deducted from a small number of international payments (SWIFT) before they arrive at the beneficiary. These fees are not taken by Rutland FX, and the majority of payments will not incur an intermediary fee. However, if it does occur, the amount taken depends on the intermediary banks involved in that particular payment route. you can read more here.
