South African businesses with European suppliers or clients often invoice in euros. Financiar lets you hold a EUR balance and pay EU invoices euro-to-euro, keeping the amount intact from your balance to the recipient — only a transparent fee, no exchange-rate spread. You fund the euro balance directly; Financiar settles the currency you hold rather than converting rand for you. Financiar serves businesses across Africa, North America, the UK, and the EU, with same-currency payouts, virtual USD/EUR/GBP cards, spend management, and maker-checker approvals.
Same-currency EUR settlement
Holding Euro (EUR) and paying EUR-to-EUR means the amount invoiced and the amount that moves match, apart from a transparent fee. There's no exchange-rate margin because nothing is converted. You fund the EUR balance first — Financiar settles the currency you hold and does not convert your local currency on your behalf.
How it works for South African businesses
Open an account and pass KYC, fund your EUR balance, add the the EU payee as a beneficiary, and send the payment under maker-checker approval. Every transaction is logged with amount, currency, recipient, approver, and timestamp for clean reconciliation. The same EUR balance can issue virtual EUR cards for online spend in the EU.
