Target tradeable rate

We want to help you achieve the exchange rates you want

Once you’ve set up an exchange rate alert, we’ll email you when your target rate is available. The personalised rate alerts will only trigger when the actual rate you want, for an international money transfer, is available. Reduce your stress by automating your payments process and let our technology monitor exchange rate fluctuations for you. Whether you are paying overseas suppliers, running payroll, or investing in property abroad — our exchange rate alerts will help you stay firmly within budget.

Rate alerts triggers

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a currency exchange Rate Alert?

A Rate Alert is a free tool that tracks the FX market on your behalf. Choose a currency pair (e.g. GBP to EUR), set your target rate, and we'll email you the moment that rate becomes available to book.

Is there a fee to use the rate tracker tool?

No, Rate Alerts are completely free. Think of it as your “eyes and ears” on the market, so you're not manually refreshing rates all day to catch the right moment to transfer.

Will a Rate Alert automatically buy the currency for me?

No, a Rate Alert only notifies you by email; you still log in and choose whether to book the transfer. If you want the trade executed automatically the instant your rate hits, use Market Orders instead.

Can Rate Alerts help protect my business profit margins?

Yes. If you pay overseas suppliers or run international payroll, a sudden currency move can eat into margins. Setting a Rate Alert means you only transfer when the market works in your favour.

How do I set up a Rate Alert?

1. Log into your CurrencyTransfer dashboard and go to 'Rate Alerts.' 2. Select your buy and sell currencies and enter the amount. 3. Set your target rate and confirm — we'll monitor the market for you.

Can Rate Alerts be set up for a business account across multiple currency pairs?

Yes. Business accounts can set unlimited Rate Alerts across all supported currency pairs, so finance teams tracking several markets — supplier currencies, payroll currencies, group reporting currency — get notified for each.

At what point should a growing business move from Rate Alerts to Market Orders or the API?

Rate Alerts suit occasional or lower-volume transfers where you're happy to act manually. Once you're transacting regularly enough that missing a rate has a real margin impact, Market Orders automate execution for you, and the API is the right fit once payments need to be triggered directly from your own systems.
