The bank's international transfer will still be slow, opaque and expensive.

If you really want to move into the cashless future, consider Flash Payments, a company focussed on making foreign exchange easy, fast and affordable. We do things differently. We put a great user experience at the centre of the Flash Payments approach.

You won't find any opaque, siloed and inefficient banking practices here.

Based in Sydney Australia, we have engineered Flash Payments from the ground up to deliver intelligent foreign exchange transfer payments without hidden fees. Using the innovative Ripple technology platform, we provide extraordinary transparency, speed and transactional control to users, setting a new level of service standard.

At Flash Payments we enable users to select the transfer date; pick the rate; send funds like an email; track transfers like a package; all without any surprise charges. There are none.

This is in stark contrast to the banks, where global payments cost more, take more time, and the routeing is opaque.

So, whether you are a business or an individual, you can now skip the banks and take control of your foreign exchange transfers.

We're transparent. We're deception-free. And we don't charge any hidden fees.

We're transparent. Deception free. No hidden fees.
