Sites offering a broad range of currencies eligible for exchange are ideal for e-commerce brands looking to expand their business to customers worldwide. In many cases, these services also enable you to lock in a reasonable exchange rate for a set period. Locking in exchange rates frees-up business cash flow and prevents the hassle of buying up currency when you see that the exchange rates are favourable.\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cheaper processing fees:<\/b>\u00a0Fee structures across many money transfer services are transparent and affordable (on top of the base exchange rate).
