Exchange operations are divided into two categories:
Exchange counter operations (one-step)
These operations are single-step and are mostly used when your exchange is a counter.
This means having an exchange counter where the customer can go and have their exchange done in one step.
Like the examples below:
- Buying currency from a customer: The customer gives you some foreign currency in cash and you pay her in local currency.
- Selling currency to a customer: The customer gives you some local currency in cash or by bank transfer, and you give them foreign currency in return.
- Currency conversion: The customer gives you some foreign currency in cash and you pay her another foreign currency in return.
Money transfer (remittance) operations (Three steps)
When a customer wants to transfer currency to someone or wants to buy or sell currency in person.
Which is usually done in three steps.
- First step (agreement) This means we agree with the customer on the rate and fee.
- Second step (customer settlement) The customer pays the agreed currency or money.
- Third step (money changer settlement) The exchange office pays the currency requested by the customer.
