Mandatory Fields

Which bank account details are required?

In the table below, reference the Beneficiary Bank Location and the Payment Currency to determine which two out of the six bank detail fields are required for each recipient. You can leave the other fields blank.

Hints and tips

If you can't see the country/currency combination you need and aren't sure which bank details you need to provide, visit the main Recipient tab of your account and select the required currency and country - the necessary fields will be displayed there.

Question 5

Do I have the relevant permissions to make an FX batch payment?

Accepted Answer

Centtrip's FX Batch Payments feature enables you to make hundred of multi-currency payments effortlessly, even those involving currency conversions.

If you cannot access the 'Buy Currency' tab or do not see the 'CREATE BATCH' button (see below), it means you may not have the required permissions to make FX batch payments.

Your FX batch payment limits and permissions are the same as for individual payments.

For example, if you require 2 approvals to make a payment, and your individual FX payment limit is GBP 10,000, this will also apply when making an FX batch payment.

Question 6

Why was my card transaction declined?

Accepted Answer

You can check the reason for a declined transaction in your desktop Centtrip account.

Question 9

What is a Market Order and how do I set one up?

Accepted Answer

Take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations by setting a target rate and letting Centtrip watch the market for you. If the market reaches your target rate, we will automatically execute the buying or selling of your specified currency, day or night. So you don't have to worry about missing an FX opportunity.

Types of Market Order

1) Take Profit

A Take Profit Order enables you to take advantage of favorable market movements. Choose a target rate better than the current market level. If the market reaches your target rate, your order is automatically processed on your behalf. You can set this up directly within your Centtrip account.

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/ssTv2cUQS2/resources/JAvapanC8h/takeprofit2.png (takeprofit2.png)

2) Stop Loss

A Stop Loss Order can be used to stop further loss when an appreciating market starts to reverse. This protects you from purchasing currency at a poorer rate than expected or required. Choose a 'worst case' target rate that is weaker than the current market level and your order will be automatically executed if the market reaches this rate, protecting your profits. Contact our team to discuss or place a Stop Loss Order.

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/ssTv2cUQS2/resources/PGptJ4g3sB/stoploss.png (stoploss.png)

3) One Cancels Other

This is a combination of both a Take Profit Order and a Stop Loss. If the market appreciates and the Take Profit Order is triggered, the Stop Loss will automatically be cancelled. Conversely, if the Stop Loss is triggered the Take Profit Order will automatically be cancelled. These are enable you to take advantage of a positive market move, whilst protecting a key level. Get in touch to discuss a OCO order.

Question 10

Why are the bank details for loading my Centtrip account not in my name?

Accepted Answer

Your Centtrip account is not a bank account; Centtrip Limited is an Electronic Money Institution authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We use multiple banking and other financial institution partners to hold client funds in secure, segregated currency accounts - the details you see on-screen are for these accounts.

So to fund your account, please use the full payment details provided under "Load Account" for your selected currency. To avoid delays, be sure to always quote your reference number (starting CENT), and ensure payment is from an account in the same name as your Centtrip account, or an Approved Third Party.

Once we receive your funds, they will be credited to your Centtrip account.
