Do I have a dedicated contact person, or do I have to go through the help desk every time?
iBanFirst prides itself on offering a very personal experience, from the first moment you inquire about our services to the time you decide to join us. Additionally, once you have an account, you can contact your customer success manager at any time to assist you with issues you might face, as well as your dedicated account manager who can assist with inquiries about our currency risk management solutions.
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.
