Indigo FX does not charge a commission.
Contact your assigned Indigo FX dealer who can set up your access to IndigoPay.
The rates that appear online are “mid rate” or “interbank rate” and they are an indicative rate halfway between the buy rate and the sell rate and are not the actual buy and sell rate.
Indigo FX will always seek to give a competitive rate close to these rates.
If there is an exchange rate you are trying to achieve, you can let us know and Indigo FX will watch the market for you and can transact or call if the rate is reached.
Contact your assigned Indigo FX dealer who can reset your access to IndigoPay.

When you send money with Indigo FX, your funds related to payment services are placed in segregated safeguarding accounts at regulated banks. These accounts are designated for clients only and are kept separate from Indigo FX’s operational money.
If Indigo FX became insolvent: Safeguarded funds are intended to be kept available for clients and not used to pay our business debts. An independent insolvency practitioner would oversee the return of safeguarded funds to clients ahead of ordinary creditors (reasonable administration costs may be deducted).
Safeguarding is different from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Your money isn’t covered by FSCS; instead, it’s protected by the segregation and reconciliation rules we follow as an FCA-authorised payment institution.

We buy currency at wholesale market rates and sell it to you at a rate that includes a small margin. Depending on the route and speed you choose, there may also be a fixed payment fee. Some intermediary/receiving banks may deduct their own charges, which are outside our control; where possible we’ll flag when such fees may apply.
No. We quote you a firm rate that reflects live market conditions and our margin. Because there’s no public reference rate in our quote, we focus on the amount your recipient will receive, which is the clearest way to compare providers.
Before you commit, we will present clearly by email or telephone:
- The amount you’re sending,
- The exchange rate we’ll apply,
- Any payment fees/charges,
- The amount your recipient will receive.
You’ll see the same items on your trade/payment confirmation so you can compare offer vs. outcome.
Because it already reflects the exchange rate and fees you pay us, it’s the most meaningful way to compare providers.
Compare at the same time (rates move) and focus on the recipient receives figure for the same send amount. Consider speed, security, reliability, delivery options, and customer support.
Yes. In some corridors, intermediary or receiving banks may deduct their own fees. Where we can, we’ll estimate or offer options to cover those fees, so the recipient receives the full amount.
Your confirmation repeats the same key items (send amount, applied rate/markup if relevant, fees and charges and the recipient receives amount) so you can verify what was delivered.
Market rates move continuously, and some routes/speeds have different costs. If timing or route changes, your cost may change too, we’ll always give you the current quote before you confirm.
