Q: Why is my quoted exchange rate lower than expected?

Payments are subject to our standard payment fees , which will be automatically debited from your Centtrip account balance. When converting currency for onward payment, if your account does not hold sufficient funds to cover both the cost of your currency and the payment fee, the fee will be incorporated into your quoted exchange rate. This will make the rate appear lower. You can check your payment fees in your account Fee Schedule . To avoid the fee being included in your future conversion rate quotes, please ensure your account holds sufficient funds to cover it.

Question 1

Where can I find information on the Centtrip services which are temporarily unavailable from 31st December 2023?

Accepted Answer

Due to changes we are implementing to ensure that Centtrip complies with all its regulatory obligations, our card ordering and account creation services will be temporarily unavailable from 31st December 2023. During this period you will be unable to order any new or replacement cards, or open additional accounts.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will be working diligently to ensure these services resume on 19th January 2024.

To avoid any disruption to your service, please make arrangements for any upcoming requirements at your earliest convenience, and no later than 31st December:

Order Centtrip cards - if you are likely to require any new or replacement cards between now and 19th January, please order these within your account. Please note, only authorised users can submit card orders.
Replace expiring cards - If you have cards expiring between now and the end of January, remember to order replacements - they will not be automatically re-issued. How can I run a report of expiring cards?
Set up accounts - create any new Accounts ready for the new year by applying online or completing the account set-up form and returning it to Client Support.

Question 5

What is the card base currency?

Accepted Answer

When ordering cards, you can select either EUR, GBP or USD as your preferred base currency.

This is the default currency in which card transactions will be made, unless another currency is specified at point of sale.

Transaction fees (such as ATM withdrawal or foreign exchange) are always charged in the card's base currency.

Question 6

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 10

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.

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.

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.
