Fresh foods & perishables

Your goods won't wait. Your payments shouldn't either.

For fresh food importers sourcing across borders, a slow payment doesn't just cost money — it costs you the shipment. iBanFirst gives you the payment speed, multi-currency reach, and FX risk management that perishable trade demands. 

Why do fresh food importers choose iBanFirst?

Your cargo is stuck at port. Your margin is thinning as exchange rates shift. Your bank can’t process payments fast enough. iBanFirst resolves all three.

  • Money-1

    Make same-day payments and track them at every step

    Make payments on your schedule and get real-time visibility of progress.

  • Security

    Protect margins with forward payment contracts

    Lock your exchange rates before the season starts.

  • Payment

    Trade in your suppliers’ local currencies

    Pay global suppliers in USD, ZAR or any of 135+ currencies available.

Testimonial slider background

  • “A traditional bank will need at least 48 hours, whereas iBanFirst can complete exchange transactions in seconds, with much more competitive rates and fees. The platform's ability to offer accounts in Polish Zloty, for example, allows us to easily and efficiently handle customs clearance in Poland for our exports.
    ”

    Geoffrey Serrurier, Director, SEGEA Food Distributors

Stop paying €350+ a day for slow payments 

Shipments don't move until payments arrive. Every extra day at Rotterdam or Vigo costs €350 or more in demurrage — and your perishables are perishing fast.

 

With iBanFirst, you control when payments are initiated. You can track them at every step and share tracking links so your beneficiaries can do the same.

Protect your margins before the season starts  

A single rate move at the wrong moment can turn a profitable shipment into a break-even one.

 

Don’t just pay the spot rate and hope for the best every time. Lock your rates in advance with forward payment contracts timed to your buying season — so you know how much you’ll pay before the window opens, not during it.

 

 

All your currency corridors. One platform.  

Making payments in USD, NOK, ILS and ZAR every month? Most banks handle EUR to USD payments well enough but struggle with everything else. That means multiple providers, separate logins, inconsistent rates and fees, and hours spent reconciling payments manually.

 

iBanFirst consolidates all your currencies in one platform. Open local currency accounts to handle customs duties and VAT in non-EUR markets, make payments in 135+ currencies, and automate your processes — all from one account.
