Secure international payments, with a personal touch

An international payment should be straightforward. A clear exchange rate, an agreed timescale and someone you can speak to throughout the process.

At Reciprocal, we combine payment services through regulated providers with personal support. That means helping you organise your transfers efficiently, understand how your funds are handled and keep your business moving.

Protection built into the process

Reciprocal provides the relationship and support, while our regulated payment providers handle the payment services.

Safeguarding forms an important part of that framework. Under a segregated safeguarding arrangement, funds requiring protection are held separately from the provider’s own operating money, with records identifying the amounts belonging to customers. FCA guidance on safeguarding

We can explain which provider handles your payment and the safeguarding arrangements that apply, giving you a clear understanding of where your funds are held.

An efficient payment starts with preparation

Speed is about more than pressing “send”.

Having the correct beneficiary details, funding in place and instructions submitted ahead of the relevant cut-off helps a payment progress efficiently.

We work with you on those details, taking account of the currency, destination and deadline. Whether you are paying a regular supplier or arranging a first transfer to a new beneficiary, a conversation beforehand helps establish the right steps and expected timing.

It is practical preparation that can save time later.

Clear timescales, useful updates

Payment timing depends on the currency, destination, banking hours and required checks. We help you understand what to expect for your particular transfer.

Our role includes coordinating with the payment provider and following up when you need an update. You have someone to contact who understands the payment and its importance to your business.

Technology can move an instruction quickly. Personal service makes sure your questions receive the same attention.

A relationship beyond the transaction

For many businesses, international payments are a regular part of trading. Having a consistent point of contact means you can discuss upcoming requirements with someone familiar with your business.

An overseas order, a supplier deadline or a change in payment arrangements becomes a conversation with your contact, without a lengthy introduction every time.

At Reciprocal, that combination of regulated payment services and attentive support is central to how we work.
