Go check our [Currency Reference Center](https://ibanfirst.com/currency-reference-centre/?__hstc=45788219.7ee4d36b823b3a47050c8138fa2cb02e.1663749873116.1680076104120.1680082688954.27&__hssc=45788219.1.1680082688954&__hsfp=1227978436)
#### What fees can I expect to pay with iBanFirst? Are there any monthly costs?
At iBanFirst, we offer competitive and transparent foreign exchange rates and fees. [Here you can find a complete overview of all our fees applied.](https://ibanfirst.com/fees)
Unlike most corporate banks, iBanFirst does not charge any fees to open an account nor any monthly subscription fees.
iBanFirst earns a spread on every currency conversion, calculated as the difference between the market rate and the client rate. This spread is transparent and shown on the web platform or communicated over the phone.
#### Are iBanFirst services available for individuals too?
iBanFirst specialises in offering SMEs the best possible solution for their needs. Therefore, we do not offer the same scope of services to private entities. However, in cases of significantly larger private transactions (real estate purchases, for instance) it is possible to open a non-commercial account with iBanFirst.
For specific inquiries, feel free to [contact us](https://info.ibanfirst.com/contact-ibanfirst) directly
#### Are my funds secure?
IBanFirst is regulated as a payment institution as per the European PSD2 directive, which strictly regulates how payment institutions, such as iBanFirst, operate and manage client funds and payments.
For instance, under the PSD2 directive, funds must be segregated from the payment institution's own funds and held at a custodian bank. Cash reserves must be held to guarantee the payment institution's solvency. Both measures guarantee that, in the unlikely event of iBanFirst’s insolvency, client funds would remain safe and secure and would be returned to the clients.
#### How much money can iBanFirst make me save?
Since 2013, iBanFirst has been analyzing exchange rate changes and fees charged by banks on foreign currency transactions and has developed a bank fee calculator.
