How it works

You can conclude a foreign exchange transaction with a member of the Dealing Department by phone.

For safety reasons, you need to verify yourself via SMS during the phone call.

The foreign exchange transaction confirmation will be delivered to your internet banking account.

According to the instructions provided in the confirmation, send the currency being sold to your Citfin account.

On the settlement date, Citfin will send the purchased currency to your bank account or make a foreign or domestic payment.

The foreign exchange market is moving very fast. We are fully online and can’t predict when it is possible to buy foreign currency at the best rate. However, we will be pleased to consult with you on the current exchange rate development and the expected macroeconomic data with the potential to intervene in the further development.

You can’t say that. The truth is that there is no regularity in the foreign exchange market, but macroeconomic data are made public at a preset time, and at this time foreign exchange rates tend to move more.

Safety is important to us and our employees must be sure that they are speaking directly with you and that someone is not trying to harm your business.

We are fully online and exchange rates change in the market every second. The CNB middle rate is reserved for accounting purposes only.
