Safe & Secure

Once a payment has been approved, we’ll lock it down. This means that no one can edit the invoice after approval, so you can rest assured you’ll only ever spend the amounts you’ve already approved. Currencies Direct are FCA authorised so you can trust them to handle your funds.

How do I do an international payment?

Traditionally you would perform a wire transfer through your bank's online service, or in person at your bank if you need assistance. Now, making a payment with Currencies Direct is just one extra step in your Zahara process. Everything can be completed in-app.

How much do international transfers cost?
With Currencies Direct it’s completely free. Yes, really. Traditional banks will generally take as much as 3-4% of your total transfer as a fee.
How long do international payments take?
Currencies Direct will typically send your money to the recipient within 24-48 hours but this can change on a country-by-country basis. 
Is this secure?
Yes, completely secure, and we don’t say that lightly. Currencies Direct have the highest possible Dun & Bradstreet credit rating, and Zahara are completely GDPR compliant and secure. Together, we’re making your security our top priority.  
What about my domestic payments?
Yes we can pay those as well. Zahara's payment runs allow you to batch pay your invoices easily and securely, with a really easy approval process.  
What are international payments (FX)?
International payments (or FX payments) are simply transactions where the payer and the payee are based in different countries. These sorts of payments will happen regularly for businesses with plenty of international suppliers or customers.
