  1. Cross Border Payments

Create a Cross Boder Money Movement

Creating cross-border money movements allows you to transfer funds between accounts located in different geographies.
To do this, follow the steps below:
1
FX Quote
You must have previously created an FX quotation using the currency pair of your interest.
2
Funding the operation
You must fund the operation if required (this applies to static quotes).
3
Create the money movement
Link the source account (which already has funds or will be funded later) with the destination account that will receive the funds.
