- When using your UK or Euro debit card to transfer the money online, the funds will clear into the 1st Contact account immediately. Other payment options available could take anything from 1 – 3 working days before it is available in the 1st Contact account for transfer.
- When you use your debit card online before 12 noon GMT (on working days only), your money will be transferred overseas that same day and will clear in recipient account within 1 – 3 working days.
- The exchange rate at the time of transfer upload is secured.
- Using your debit card also requires fewer steps from your side, therefore truly making it the most hassle-free way!
1st Contact Forex exchange rate displayed when you submit your transfer will be the actual rate secured if the following terms are met where a valid GBP or EUR debit card in your own name is used on our website successfully. Your account has been activated and you have received a confirmation email stating this. When transferring an amount of £10,000 (or foreign currency equivalent) or more, or £30,000 (or foreign currency equivalent) in a 12 month rolling period, 1st Contact Forex needs to receive proof of “source of funds” as prescribed by HMRC’s Anti-money laundering regulations.
In these cases 1st Contact can only secure you an exchange rate when we receive your documentation.
