Window Forwards and Drawdowns

GreenShootsFX’s Window and Fixed Date Forwards allows you to set the amount of currency needed and settlement date, typically up to 12 months in the future, at the current exchange rate, plus forward points.

The Problem

Managing your foreign exchange exposure can be complex and not without risk. You’re looking for a solution that allows you to purchase a specific amount of foreign currency today at competitive rates to use in the future (forwards) but that you can drawdown in a range of settlement dates (windows).

In addition, you have an unknown cash flow for the foreseeable future and would like certainty of the financial obligations in your currency.

The Solution

GreenShootsFX’s forwards and drawdowns capability allows you to lock in rates up to a year in advance, while drawing down the funds you need, when you need them. Remove the complexities, inefficiencies and expense of traditional cross-border payments. What’s more, it’s easy to integrate with your existing solution and provides you with clarity on your future cash flow.

Payment Status

Bringing end-to-end visibility and transparency to cross-border payments

Tracking and knowing where your funds are within the payment chain helps keep your accounts payable up to date, which is crucial for any business.

When you initiate your payments through GSFX Online you are able to do just that, with each transaction separated into four statuses:

Initiated – shows when a payment was created and confirmed with GreenShootsFX

Funded – your wire or ACH debit was received and processed by GreenShootsFX

Sent – GreenShootsFX has sent the payment to your beneficiary’s bank

Delivered – the payment is estimated to be delivered at your beneficiary’s bank

These statuses are displayed as four gray circles and, when a payment completes a status, the circle changes to blue.

Notifications

Tracking transactions with ease. GreenShootsFX’s automated email notification capability gives you real-time visibility and instant updates on how transactions are progressing.

The Problem

Staying in control and efficiently managing cross-border payments is key to providing a great customer experience. Whether it’s tracking the progress of a conversion, or getting notified when your clients are active in the platform, you need to be in the loop every step of the way.

Whether you have one client, or vendor, or thousands, constantly checking the platform to monitor the status of conversions, payments and user activity isn’t a good use of your time.

The Solution

GreenShootsFX’s notifications capability allows you to track transactions and state changes in a more streamlined manner. When the status of a transaction changes, a notification can be triggered to an end-point or email address of your choice.

A highly efficient way of keeping you up to speed for a variety of conversion, payment and transfer activities including:

New payments created – Payment failed – Payment released – Trade settled – Funding transactions

Beneficiary Validation Service

To send a payment successfully, the beneficiary, or recipient, details must be correct. It might sound obvious, but just one wrong digit could lead to a failed payment – costing you time and money, and potentially, clients

The Problem

It’s always possible for beneficiary details to be entered incorrectly. This could be due to having the wrong format for account details to begin with, or manual errors from data entry. Often, your payment will be accepted with the error and it can take several days before the payment fails and you become aware of a problem.

The Solution

A beneficiary validation service that runs hundreds of thousands of live validation lookups per month.

In the background, rules have been built to validate key characteristics for all other account numbers and clearing codes for our supported currencies. These types of rules also apply to country codes, zipcodes and other important beneficiary details.

This all means that you’ll be informed before making a payment if any of the beneficiary details are incorrect – saving you time, money and helping you maintain good working relationships with clients and business partners.
