Unlike most corporate banks, iBanFirst does not charge fees or commissions on currency conversions.
 
The only fees iBanFirst charges are payment fees. Payment fees are fixed, but vary depending on the payment network, speed and payment instructions chosen. They are clearly displayed when a payment is created and users can choose between different payment options.
 
Companies below the minimum annual threshold of €200,000 in currency payments incur a variable fee of 0.2% of incoming payments and transfers without currency exchange. 
Other ad hoc fees may apply for iBanFirst to handle exceptional requests

Protecting your account from fraud:
iBanFirst ensures the security of its customers' accounts through numerous measures such as a robust infrastructure, SSL encryption of connections, and regular audits and computer penetration tests.
 
Strong Authentication:
Strong authentication is a mandatory security measure for sensitive actions such as:

• Logging into the platform from a new device

• Adding a beneficiary

• Validating a payment or a currency conversion

• Adding a user 

Strong authentication ensures the security of your account and funds if your platform credentials are ever compromised. The strong authentication methods available at iBanFirst are:

• One-time code generated by mobile or desktop applications such as Google Authenticator or Authy

• Yubikey

These methods are both used in a process called two factor authentication (2FA). They will ask you to authenticate using both something you know (your iBanFirst credentials) and something you have in your possession (your phone or Yubikey) .

With iBanFirst, you can open accounts in more than 35 currencies, with nominative IBANs that guarantee the security and quality of your payments.
