Banks often quote rates well off mid-market, and the markup is rarely shown upfront. VirtuaBroker shows the rate before you send, so you know exactly what you're paying.
THE SOLUTION
One platform turns payments from a source of friction into infrastructure — so money moves as fast as your goods.
Suppliers receive local currency through local rails — architecture built to settle in minutes, not the multi-day path of a bank wire.
Conversions priced close to mid-market, with the rate shown up front — no spread buried inside the transfer.
Shift funds between currencies and markets when you need them — so you pre-fund far less cash in every country.
Hold and collect in your own company name across 50+ markets — replacing a stack of separate banks and brokers.
Track every payment end to end — no more emailing banks to ask where the money is.
Hidden fees eat your margin
Your bank takes a cut on every supplier payment and every buyer receipt. Most of it is never shown upfront.

Frequently asked questions
Most supplier payments settle within seconds to the same business day, depending on the payment corridor and local banking rails. By using local accounts instead of correspondent banking, VirtuaBroker removes the multi-hop delays common with traditional international wire transfers.
The platform currently covers 50+ markets, including named local accounts across the EU, UK, US, Canada, Hong Kong, all of Latin America, and a growing footprint across Africa and Southeast Asia. Coverage and account type vary by market — some support full local holding, others route through to stable settlement.
For markets where holding local currency carries volatility risk, funds are collected locally and routed to a stable settlement currency rather than held long-term in that currency. This keeps your working capital protected from local currency depreciation while still allowing local collection.
VirtuaBroker's licensing under frameworks including MiCA and PSD2 is in progress.
No — named local accounts are held in your existing company's name, so you don't need to incorporate locally to collect or pay in that market.
Pricing depends on corridor, volume, and account terms rather than a single flat rate. Use the calculator above for an illustrative comparison, or contact us for a quote specific to your payment volumes.
Yes — contact us for a walkthrough of how collection, routing, and payout work end to end.
