Why choose Halo Financial for regular payments?
Never miss a payment
As well as automated trade orders, the Halo Financial Regular Currency Trade service is also automated. You won’t need to worry about remembering to make your next payment. You will never miss any of your payments, or be hit with any late payment fees.
Low minimum amounts
There is no maximum limit to how much you send and you can send as little as £250 per month, £400 bi-monthly or £500 quarterly,
Saving you money
If you’re still using a bank for your regular payment, you may be charged a transfer fee (this can potentially be £40-plus) and commission for each transaction. This adds up with every regular payment internationally. You could be losing out through unfavourable exchange rates, too, so get in touch to see what rates Halo Financial can offer.
Benefits of setting up a RCT plan
1. Flexibility
Halo Financial’s payment plans are flexible; you can customise them around your needs. You can choose when you want to start the payment, select the duration of the plan and the frequency of your payments, as well as choose from one of three payment dates in the month to ensure your money is received when it’s needed. So, you no longer need to remember when to make your next payment obligation – no forgotten payments, and no late payment fees.
2. Peace of mind
Eliminate the uncertainty of volatile currency markets by setting the exchange rate and payment amount in advance. Manage your budget more effectively by always knowing what you need to pay. Because you can choose to fix an exchange rate against all your future payments, you’ll find it easier to budget. Agree on a Regular Currency Trade plan and you’ll know how much money your mortgage repayment will cost, how much of your salary or pension money you’ll receive, how much rental income you will earn from your overseas property, and so on.
3. Convenience
With a Regular Currency Trade plan, you won’t need to contact us each time to agree on an exchange rate, as we’ll convert your funds at the pre-agreed fixed exchange rate or at the exchange rate on the pre-agreed payment date. Once you’ve set up your Standing Order (or Direct Debit) for the payments, there’s nothing more for you to do.
Halo Financial only charges £5 to electronically send your funds to your beneficiary account. There is no maximum limit to how much you can send and you can send as little as £250 per month, £400 bi-monthly, and £500 quarterly.
How do regular currency trades work?
There are several regular currency trade plans to choose from – you can tailor them to suit your specific situation and requirements.
Option one
Fix the foreign currency amount
By fixing the amount of foreign currency you buy, you’ll know exactly how much foreign currency will be sent to your account or other intended recipient. The amount of Pounds Sterling needed to pay for the contract will vary, depending on the exchange rate achieved at the time of your currency trade.
