Comprehensive Bureau de Change management

Swift Forex Many post offices understand the business opportunities presented by a fully fledged Bureau de Change.

Swift Forex is a complete Bureau de Change solution that integrates with existing postal platforms, seamlessly combining your current postal counter reconciliations with foreign exchange activities.

The result is that counter staff can achieve faster transactions, with the lowest possible error rates. Customers will see service improvements too, including the option to collect orders at branches or to opt for home delivery.

Swift Forex is fully scalable so that it can grow with your business. You will enjoy full stock management of currencies, together with extensive management reporting. It leaves you free to focus on maximising revenues and developing a full-service offering.

In such a rapidly changing environment, close control across all of your outlets is important. Swift Forex lets you increase your margins easily and quickly, setting rates through a centralised management system at head office. Full control of rate markup means you can eliminate inaccurate exchange rate quotations at counters.

The built-in security features of Swift Forex ensure that every counter clerk is assigned an individual PIN number, avoiding unauthorised transactions. The chances of fraud are reduced further because customer data is captured and alerts raised on any questionable transactions. Knowing your customers properly helps you not only to improve service levels but also to monitor any potential money laundering.
