Banking Circle partners with Novalnet AG, a German provider of online payment services.
The Luxembourg-based financial institution will provide its Bavarian customer with support on foreign exchange (FX) and settlement solutions, including like-for-like settlement in 24 currencies, a method that avoids currency conversion when operating business in foreign currencies.
Banking Circle’s platform will help Novalnet reduce its costs in exchange fees in managing multiple international banking partners, while providing its customers with a more efficient service at lower costs.
“Integrated into the Novalnet Payment engine, the Banking Circle platform delivers instant results, including scalability, cost savings on SWIFT, an additional revenue stream on FX and the all-important increased customer satisfaction,” both partners explained.
