Key Features of Currencycloud for Rutland FX Customers
Currencycloud provides a comprehensive suite of services, including correspondent banking, APIs, FX liquidity, and local payment rails, designed to simplify and enhance global financial transactions. While their platform offers a wide range of capabilities, here are some of the key solutions that Rutland FX utilises to offer cross-border payment solutions to businesses and individuals.
Multi-Currency Wallets Rutland FX customers can access multi-currency accounts in their own name, allowing for the easy creation of new accounts that support SWIFT payments and some local payments, such as Fedwire and ACH. This capability enables customers to receive incoming funds as if they were local, simplifying the management of international transactions.
Cross-Border Payments Through an extensive network of banking partners, fast and cost-effective cross-border payments are facilitated. The platform includes SWIFT payment tracking for SWIFT GPI-enabled payments, making it easy to monitor transactions.
Global Reach Currencycloud supports 37 currencies and can send funds to over 180 countries globally, as well as receive funds from over 120 countries. This extensive reach allows Rutland FX to offer truly global payment solutions to our customers.
Compliance and Security Full compliance with global regulations, including anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, is ensured. Advanced security features, such as biometric ID verification and two-factor authentication, are integrated to protect against fraud.
Real-Time Reporting and Analytics The platform provides access to real-time data and analytics, allowing businesses to track payments and monitor currency flows with full transparency.
Treasury Management and Forward Contracts Treasury management tools, including forward contracts, are available, enabling businesses to lock in exchange rates for future transactions and providing financial stability.
Visa’s Acquisition of Currencycloud
In July 2021, Visa acquired Currencycloud for approximately $925 million. This strategic move was aimed at strengthening Visa’s position in the cross-border payments sector.
