Currencycloud

What Currencycloud is

Currencycloud provides cross-border payment infrastructure for businesses that collect, convert, send and manage multiple currencies. Its platform provides access to 36+ currencies in over 180 countries, with virtual wallets and named accounts. The company describes same-day transfers for multiple currencies and lists local settlement. Payment methods include Swift, local domestic payments, SEPA, ACH, Faster Payments, RTP, Fedwire and CHIPS. Developer guides cover balances, transfers, payments, foreign-exchange rates and conversions, collections and sub-accounts. Businesses can use API integration, Currencycloud Direct or a white-label solution. Developers can register for a demo API key, but demo trades do not execute real payments. Live access requires opening an account and completing onboarding. Currencycloud says it serves entrepreneurs launching financial services, traditional banks innovating and digital financial businesses. Its regulation page lists Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. A company article says it received ISO 27001:2013 certification for its information security management system. API authentication tokens expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, and accounts are disabled after four unsuccessful login attempts within a short period. Transfers between accounts do not convert currency, so both accounts must hold funds in the same currency. Pricing is on request.
