Atlas Currency Exchange has been trading currency since 2001 initially in more of a retail aspect. Due to our increasing data base of clients and with the various services and products requested, several years back it was a decision made to not only begin providing wholesale services but to also acquire the AFS Licence to enable the complete range of FX products and services now available. The core business remains clear: delivering FX solutions for people and businesses. Throughout our history we have expanded our business but stay focused on our promise to provide personalized service and foreign currency product alternatives. A benefit for our clients include the best quote pricing from our dealers that are sourced from the world’s leading FX Banks, this way we are not limited to rates from a single source provider. |
Rate Alert and Notifications.
| With this innovative function you no longer need to spend time monitoring Currency and rates. You can receive a Rate Alert via email, SMS or a phone call when a specific rate for your chosen currency is available. | Our system will automatically send you a notification email when the payment has been processed. This gives you the confidence that the payment is secured, it can also be used to forward through to your beneficiary. |
Receiving funds.
Incoming Telegraphic Transfers
| If you need to receive an International Payment in a currency other than your local currency, we offer an Inward Telegraphic Transfer to convert the funds and deposit them into your local account. Atlas Currency also has the ability to hold your incoming transfer in its native currency in one of our “Foreign Currency” accounts. | This gives you the added choice of having your foreign funds here in Australia and not having to exchange your currency immediately. If you choose, you can exchange half the value now and the remaining amount at a later stage. |
Sending funds.
Outgoing Telegraphic Transfers
| A Telegraphic Transfer is a secure and convenient way to electronically deposit funds directly into an overseas account. In most instances, the beneficiary will receive their payment within 24 to 48 hours. | It’s an efficient way to send money overseas quickly and safely; which leaves you relaxed about your international business dealings. |
Drafts
| Bank Drafts are similar to foreign bank cheques. They are a secure way to send money abroad when the beneficiary’s banking details are not available. |
Cross Currency Payments.
| You can settle your outward transaction in a currency other than your local currency. For example, you can use available Euro funds to create a US Dollar payment, thereby reducing your FX conversion costs and maximising your savings and processing times. |
Managing Risk.
Lock In A Future Rate With A Forward Contract.
| A Forward Contract can protect you against market fluctuations by securing today’s exchange rate for future use. | Forward Contracts can be requested from your dealer and can be booked for up to six months and draw downs are available immediately right through to your requested value date. |
Spot Rate.
| Put simply, a SPOT is a one-day Forward Contract that you can create using FX Quote. If the opening market rate is attractive to you and you are concerned about the market shifts through the day, you can lock in the rate there and then, and complete the payment before 4:00pm on the same day. | This is also useful if you want to commit to a rate, but don’t have all the details of the beneficiary on hand. You can lock in the exchange, and complete the transaction later that day. |
