While you cannot currently send or receive international bank transfers directly from your account, there are simple and secure ways to manage overseas payments. Because your account does not have an IBAN (International Bank Account Number), we’ve partnered with specialist providers to help you work with international clients and suppliers. 🌍
Sending or receiving bank transfers
We recommend using our partner, CurrencyFair, to manage bank transfers abroad. They offer competitive rates and fast transfers in over 20 currencies. As a user of the app, you’ll receive a 15% discount on exchange margins for your first six months.
To access this offer directly in the app:
Open the app: Ensure you’re using the latest version. 📲
Go to the Pay tab: Tap the Pay button on the bottom bar.
Select international: Tap Send money internationally 💸.
Connect: Tap Go to CurrencyFair to be redirected to the exclusive sign-up page.
Accepting international card payments
If you need to accept payments from international customers via credit or debit card, you can connect your account to Stripe. This allows you to get paid online in over 135 currencies. 💳
Once set up, any funds you receive through Stripe can be transferred directly into your account in GBP.
Note: Transfers made through these partners are the most reliable way to manage international business while ensuring your funds arrive safely in your UK account.
