Frequently asked questions
FAQs
How fast do supplier payments actually settle?
Supplier payments are built to 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.
Which countries does VirtuaBroker support?
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.
What happens with payments to high-inflation or restricted currencies?
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.
Is VirtuaBroker regulated?
Yes. VirtuaBroker operates under its own regulatory licences and works with regulated financial partners, providing an additional layer of compliance and security across our payment services.
Do I need a local entity to open a named account in each market?
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.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing depends on corridor, volume, and account terms rather than a single flat rate. See the cost comparison above for an illustrative example, or contact us for a quote specific to your payment volumes.
Can I see how this works for a specific corridor, like Spain to Brazil?
Yes — contact us for a walkthrough of how collection, routing, and payout work end to end.
