Contis partners with Currencycloud on international payments

Share this post

Leading European payments provider, Contis, has partnered with Currencycloud, the leader in providing B2B embedded cross-border solutions, to make international payments available for over 1 million accounts.

This partnership allows end-customers to convert Sterling (GPB) to more than 30 currencies and send funds to over 50 countries across 5 continents. It removes a pain-point for fintech clients with an international customer base, companies looking at overseas expansion, and any account holders needing to send money abroad.

Contis is a Principal member of Visa, providing B2B issuing and processing through its wholly owned, cloud-based technology. By plugging-in Currencycloud’s multi-currency account infrastructure, it can now provide foreign exchange and international money transfer to all clients and account holders.

Using their app, customers can request a real-time quote – including the exchange rate on offer and transaction fee – before deciding to make a payment. Currencycloud integration provides a simple and cost-effective way to send money abroad with market leading exchange rates and low transaction costs.

Jason Ollivier, Chief Disruption Officer at Contis, said: “The global pandemic has driven an explosion in digital payments and demand for new features. Now more than ever, businesses need to invest in R&D and deliver new solutions for the changing landscape. We’ve increased investment in our core platform and bolted on functionality to our API based platform to meet client needs.

“This is the latest in a long run of Contis innovations and updates, recently including Buffer ‘secondary authorisation’ technology and ApplePay. We pride ourselves on offering a frictionless experience to clients and their customers. Integrating Currencycloud’s best-in-class tech dramatically simplifies sending money abroad, at a time when international transfers are becoming more essential for banks, fintechs and their customers.”

Lewis Nurcombe, Sales Director, Banking and Issuing at Currencycloud, commented: “Contis delivers a comprehensive service to its customers and we are thrilled that they chose to partner with us to deliver their foreign exchange solution. As digital payments become the ‘norm’, so has the need to make international payments. This partnership means that Contis customers can take advantage of fast, efficient and clear payment processes.”

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
