Transparency Is Part of Trust
We believe businesses should understand what they are paying for their foreign exchange.
Banks and other providers may build their margin into the exchange rate, making the true cost of a currency transaction difficult to identify.
Paymentearth’s approach is different.
We provide transparent FX pricing so businesses can understand the exchange rate and cost before completing their transaction.
No confusing pricing structure. No need to guess where the FX margin is hidden.
MORE THAN A LOGO ON A WEBSITE
We Believe Relationships Are Built in Person.
Trade shows give us the opportunity to meet business owners, finance professionals, manufacturers, importers, exporters, and other globally active companies face-to-face.
We listen. We learn about their challenges. And we show businesses how transparent foreign exchange can make international payments more efficient.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
Choosing an FX provider is about more than the exchange rate.

quality employee - great company.
I've been working with Alika P. for about 1 year and her prices are always very competitive. Alika is friendly, competent, and a pleasant to work with. She is quick to reply to all of my currency requests and never makes a mistake. It is so rare to find good, young employees in today’s workforce. Whoever hired her found a real Gem. Keep up the great work!!

Despite typically feeling annoyed by sales calls due to my busy schedule, I answered a call from Alika, as she had only reached out once in the past two months. Fortunately, I listened, as Alika provided valuable information and demonstrated significant savings I could achieve. While I appreciate the financial benefits, I was most impressed by the company's transparent business approach, which is uncommon nowadays. I highly recommend this company - I completed the application in 15 minutes and my account was opened within a few hours.

I own a business and import various machinery parts from Europe and Japan. If not for Alika and Paymentearth ethical approach to foreign currency payment methods, I'd be overpaying $20,000-$25,000 more every year to my bank. Good thing I listened and made a comparison. Not only do they have the lowest fair spreads, their customer is unparalleled. I highly recommend to reach out to Alika, and she will take care of all your needs, so you can focus on growing your business.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Paymentearth uses a transparent FX pricing model so businesses can understand the cost of their foreign exchange transaction before completing the payment.

For current information about our pricing structure, please see our Fees page.
View Fees & Pricing →
The FX spread is the difference between the underlying market exchange rate and the exchange rate offered to the client.

Paymentearth believes businesses should be able to understand the cost of their FX transaction rather than having the margin hidden within an exchange rate.

Paymentearth offers Fixed-Date and Window Forward Contracts.
Learn More About Forward Contracts →
Forward points are adjustments applied to the current exchange rate when establishing a Forward Contract for future delivery.
They are primarily influenced by the interest-rate differential between the two currencies and the length of the contract.
