The minimum transfer amount using Global Payments is US$2,000 or its equivalent. During the account opening process, a transfer limit will be agreed with you based on your transaction needs. If you require a one-off larger transaction, you can contact our customer support team to assist with the booking.
Global Payments will keep the rate you have booked for two days. If we have not received your funds and not been able to contact you after two days, the transaction may be cancelled. A reverse trade will need to be booked, as the original deal will have already been executed in the market. Any loss incurred from closing out the deal will need to be borne by you. We understand that there are sometimes delays in transferring your funds to us. Please advise of this and we can amend the settlement date of your transfer.
