In this guide
What counts as a large transfer
A property deposit or completion, a watch dealer's stock invoice, or another high-value payment where the exchange rate changes the price. There is no fixed minimum to open an account. The service is built for the bigger payments, where a small difference in the rate is real money.
How a quote works
Tell us the amount, the currency, who you are paying and when it needs to arrive. Your specialist confirms a rate you can deal on before you commit. Rates published on this website are indicative mid-market reference rates, not that quote. The dealable rate comes from GC Partners.
Documents you may be asked for
Like every regulated payment, the first payment needs checks on who you are and where the money came from. You may also be asked for an invoice, a completion statement, or the beneficiary's account details. Your specialist will tell you exactly what is needed. Confirm beneficiary details by phone on a number you already trust, not from an email alone.
What can affect timing
The currency, the destination, the beneficiary's bank, and when your funds reach GC Partners all change how long a transfer takes. Weekends and public holidays can too. Your specialist will give you a realistic time before you commit, so you are not planning the payment for the day it has to land.
Who processes the payment
Globe FX introduces you and looks after the relationship. GC Partners (Global Currency Exchange Network Ltd) provides the payment service and is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 504346). Globe FX is not itself authorised. Full details are on the regulatory information page.
