Frequently asked questions
What currencies does iBanFirst offer for cross-border payments?
With iBanFirst, you can hold and receive funds in 25 currencies and execute payments in 135+ currencies. You can check the list of currencies available here.
Does iBanFirst support same currency transactions?
Although the iBanFirst payment solution has been optimised for global currency transactions, you can also use the platform to make non-converting currency transactions. However, if your business is only dealing with same-currency transactions, then iBanFirst might not be the best payment solution for your needs.
Can anyone initiate a payment from the iBanFirst platform?
No. You control who can initiate payments through customisable user permission rights. You can configure payment limits and multi-level approvals for different user roles, with granular access rights across different entities.
Additionally, iBanFirst requires dual authentication via our mobile app to approve and execute sensitive operations, including payments.
Can I make bulk payments through the iBanFirst platform?
Yes, you can use the iBanFirst API to initiate bulk payments directly from your accounting software or use Isabel 6 or EBICS if you have subsidiaries in France, Germany or Belgium.
Can I access proof of payments via iBanFirst?
Yes, simply choose a payment and select "Proof of Payment" on the details page. This will immediately download a pacs.008 file in XML format to your device.
