ABOUT IFX

MARKET-LEADING SERVICE

TAILORED SERVICE

IFX will take the time to understand your needs and priorities, applying our insights and expertise to deliver a bespoke solution. We will keep you informed of market trends and developments, and will work to execute your trades to your best advantage.

We will assign your own dedicated consultant who will be your contact every time you call. Providing continuity and consistency of service, and establishing a clear understanding of your requirements, we will work with you to minimise your risks, optimise your position and reduce your costs.

INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION

Currency markets are notoriously volatile. Rather than speculate, IFX will advise you on the strategy that will best minimise your risk and protect your margins. And we will provide access to preferential wholesale exchange rates not typically available from a bank.

OPTIMISED EXCHANGE RATES

IFX expedites all payments through the secure channels of our international banking partners. Our state-of-the-art systems enable us to turn around payments and release onward transfers in real time – subject of course to international time zones and business hours.

FAST, SECURE DELIVERY

If your business is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange markets, the timing of your currency transactions and the strategy selected can have a significant impact on your margins.

IFX can provide the expertise, responsiveness and flexibility necessary to help you optimise your position, minimise the risk inherent with rate volatility and reduce your costs.

As an IFX corporate client, your dedicated consultant will be focused on your particular business and its priorities.

This ongoing relationship allows us to ensure that we fully understand your requirements, can properly anticipate your needs and employ the correct strategies to help execute each currency transaction to your best advantage.

Your consultant will monitor currency markets on your behalf and keep you informed of upcoming economic events that may impact relevant exchange rates.

IFX will work to manage your currency transactions consistently and effectively, and optimise your exchange rate position over time.

IFX FOR CORPORATE CLIENTS

IFX FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS

When you buy and sell assets overseas, invest in international companies or move to a new country, you are unavoidably exposed to foreign exchange markets and currency risk.

This is especially true when buying a property overseas. Adverse currency fluctuations between the dates of purchase and completion can prove extremely costly.

IFX can help minimise the risk associated with foreign exchange transactions, provide peace of mind, and save you money.

We will monitor markets on your behalf and offer expert guidance on the best strategy. We will work with you to get the best rates, avoid losses and reduce costs.

And whilst we are specialists in this area, we appreciate that our clients may not be. So we will always explain the options available in straightforward, jargon-free language.

SPOT CONTRACT

If you have funds available and wish to exchange currency immediately, you can purchase a Spot Contract. Contact IFX and we will secure the best Spot rate available. Your currency will be available for transfer to your nominated account immediately we have received your cleared funds.

FORWARD CONTRACT

When a transaction requires you to make a payment or series of payments in another currency in the future, you can purchase a Forward Contract. Fix your exchange rate for up to two years, with the option to draw on the funds at any time, thus removing currency risk and protecting against adverse market movements.

MARKET ORDERS

Whether you have the flexibility to wait for favourable markets or need to protect a budget position, IFX Market Orders will open trading options and give you control. Nominate your trading range or target rate and we will monitor markets 24/7 and execute your trade to your best advantage.

It is impossible to predict the future movements of currency markets with any degree of accuracy, and, we believe, irresponsible to try.

Instead, we serve our clients best by identifying and minimising risk, and by using our specialist expertise to provide the strategies, contract options and preferential rates that will maximise the cost saving for each transaction.

CONTRACT OPTIONS

Emailed to you each morning, the IFX Market Report is a succinct, informative and insightful briefing document.

It provides a summary of the previous day’s trading activity, along with an overview and an update on any events likely to influence the markets during the day ahead. These include economic releases, stock market indices, and central bank and government announcements.

For corporate and private clients alike, the IFX Market Report can provide important information to assist you with trading strategies and inform budgeting and forecasting decisions.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

SENIOR EXECUTIVEWorldwide Insurance Company

We have been using IFX as our currency remitter since January 2011. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Not only does IFX offer more competitive rates - giving us more to invest, but they ensure that we have access to the best rate possible on the day, the payments arrive efficiently to our designated accounts, and if we have any queries, they respond almost instantaneously.

PRIVATE PROPERTY INVESTORSydney, Australia

I was delighted with the way IFX managed my transaction. It’s quite a contrast to the experience I had with my bank, and I will be using IFX’s excellent service again in the near future.
