Creating Your Account
To register you will need to enter your email address and choose a password.
When you first login you will be taken to the calculator. From here you will be asked to select how much you wish to send or how much you want your recipient to receive.
Navigating the Calculator
Entering Amounts
Using the calculator you tell us how much you want to transfer or how much you would like the recipient to receive. The calculator will update the corresponding value, so if you enter an amount you would like to send then we will update the value your recipient will receive. Whereas if you enter an amount you would like the recipient to receive we will update the amount you will need to send.
Selecting Currencies
The calculator is also used to tell us what currency you would like to transfer and what currency your recipient will receive. To change the currency select the drop down menu and choose the relevant option.
When you change either the send or receive currency a new exchange rate will be shown and the amounts are updated to reflect the live exchange rate.
Your email address must be unique and your password at least 8 characters long. We recommend using an array of letters, numbers and symbols for added security.
