ABOUT IFX

3. MARKET-LEADING SERVICE
TAILORED SERVICE
IFX will take the time to understand your needs and
priorities, applying our insights and expertise to
deliver a bespoke solution. We will keep you informed
of market trends and developments, and will work to
execute your trades to your best advantage.
We will assign your own dedicated consultant who will
be your contact every time you call. Providing continuity
and consistency of service, and establishing a clear
understanding of your requirements, we will work with
you to minimise your risks, optimise your position and
reduce your costs.
INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION
Currency markets are notoriously volatile. Rather than
speculate, IFX will advise you on the strategy that will
best minimise your risk and protect your margins.
And we will provide access to preferential wholesale
exchange rates not typically available from a bank.
OPTIMISED EXCHANGE RATES
IFX expedites all payments through the secure channels
of our international banking partners. Our state-of-the-
art systems enable us to turn around payments and
release onward transfers in real time ­– subject of course
to international time zones and business hours.
FAST, SECURE DELIVERY

4. If your business is exposed to fluctuations in foreign
exchange markets, the timing of your currency
transactions and the strategy selected can have a
significant impact on your margins.
IFX can provide the expertise, responsiveness and
flexibility necessary to help you optimise your position,
minimise the risk inherent with rate volatility and reduce
your costs.
As an IFX corporate client, your dedicated consultant will
be focused on your particular business and its priorities.
This ongoing relationship allows us to ensure that we fully
understand your requirements, can properly anticipate
your needs and employ the correct strategies to help
execute each currency transaction to your best advantage.
Your consultant will monitor currency markets on your
behalf and keep you informed of upcoming economic
events that may impact relevant exchange rates.
IFX will work to manage your currency transactions
consistently and effectively, and optimise your exchange
rate position over time.
IFX FOR CORPORATE CLIENTS

5. IFX FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS
When you buy and sell assets overseas, invest in
international companies or move to a new country, you
are unavoidably exposed to foreign exchange markets and
currency risk.
This is especially true when buying a property overseas.
Adverse currency fluctuations between the dates of
purchase and completion can prove extremely costly.
IFX can help minimise the risk associated with foreign
exchange transactions, provide peace of mind, and save
you money.
We will monitor markets on your behalf and offer expert
guidance on the best strategy. We will work with you to get
the best rates, avoid losses and reduce costs.
And whilst we are specialists in this area, we appreciate
that our clients may not be. So we will always explain the
options available in straightforward, jargon-free language.

6. SPOT CONTRACT
If you have funds available
and wish to exchange currency
immediately, you can purchase a
Spot Contract. Contact IFX
and we will secure the best Spot
rate available.Your currency
will be available for transfer to
your nominated account
immediately we have received
your cleared funds.
FORWARD CONTRACT
When a transaction requires
you to make a payment or series
of payments in another currency
in the future, you can purchase
a Forward Contract. Fix your
exchange rate for up to two years,
with the option to draw on
the funds at any time, thus
removing currency risk and
protecting against adverse
market movements.
MARKET ORDERS
Whether you have the flexibility to
wait for favourable markets or need
to protect a budget position, IFX
Market Orders will open trading
options and give you control.
Nominate your trading range or
target rate and we will monitor
markets 24/7 and execute your
trade to your best advantage.
It is impossible to predict the future movements of
currency markets with any degree of accuracy, and, we
believe, irresponsible to try.
Instead, we serve our clients best by identifying and
minimising risk, and by using our specialist expertise
to provide the strategies, contract options and
preferential rates that will maximise the cost saving
for each transaction.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
SENIOR EXECUTIVE
Worldwide Insurance Company
We have been using IFX as our currency remitter since
January 2011. I would not hesitate in recommending them.
Not only does IFX offer more competitive rates - giving
us more to invest, but they ensure that we have access
to the best rate possible on the day, the payments arrive
efficiently to our designated accounts, and if we have
any queries, they respond almost instantaneously.
PRIVATE PROPERTY INVESTOR
Sydney, Australia
I was delighted with the way IFX managed my
transaction. It’s quite a contrast to the experience I had
with my bank, and I will be using IFX’s excellent service
again in the near future.

11. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
IFX is committed to conducting its business with
the highest level of integrity, and to supporting the
worldwide anti-money laundering effort.
We stringently observe the compliance and reporting
regulations of every jurisdiction in which we are active,

These regulations require IFX to safeguard client funds,
keeping them in protected bank accounts.
