It can be challenging in today’s volatile economy, to get the best exchange rate. The exchange rate you get when sending money overseas can significantly affect the total cost of your transfer. Rates shift daily—sometimes even hourly—based on interest rate movements, inflation data, and global events, and can often be a hidden extra cost of supply chains. This is the key reason why you should set a currency rate alert. At Tasman FX, we understand that timing when you send your payment is everything. That’s why we recommend setting a currency rate alert—a smart, hassle-free way to lock in better exchange rates without constantly watching the market.
What Is a Currency Rate Alert?
A currency rate alert is a simple notification tool that lets you know when your target foreign exchange rate becomes available. You choose the currency pair you want and the rate you’re aiming for—we notify you when the market hits that level. No guesswork, no stress. For businesses or individuals sending international payments, this is a simple way to avoid unfavourable exchange rates and make smarter transfers.
