Unlike the big banks and corporates, we are a dynamic company that believes in FinTech. Usage of a wide variety of technologies enables us to minimize our costs which allows you to minimize yours as well. We have a direct access to an interbank foreign exchange market, which is the reason we offer you the best rates. The only cost you are paying on top of the interbank rate is our tiny margin which starts at 0,08%. Besides great exchange rates, we offer cheap international payments. This is possible due to our partnership with the biggest British FinTech company CurrencyCloud. We are absolutely transparent so when we say we do not have any hidden fees, we mean it.

The rates we display on our website are “mid” rates. A mid rate is an average of a bid and ask rate. Those are the rates at which a broker is willing to buy a currency from you or sell it to you at the moment. A bid rate is lower than a mid rate and the ask rate also called offer rate is higher than the mid rate. This difference between bid and ask rates is called spread.

You can trade by phone through our brokers on weekdays during our business hours . The RoklenFx online platform can be used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Exchange rates are constantly changing, for some currency pairs even several times per second. The difference between the best buying rate and the selling rate is changing just as fast. When the market is most liquid, this difference (sometimes referred to as the spread) is very small, on the contrary, on weekends, holidays or outside business hours, the spreads might widen significantly. We therefore recommend making an exchange at a time of high liquidity (high volumes) in the markets.

For example, the currency pair EUR/CZK (euro versus koruna) is most traded on weekdays between 8:30 and 17:00. Outside theses hours, liquidity of CZK drops considerably, so the exchange rates regarding this currency pair may not be as favorable. The EUR/USD currency pair (euro versus US dollar) is in itself significantly more liquid than EUR/CZK. The EUR/USD is the most liquid currency pair in the FX market, therefore it is being traded almost continuously throughout the day in all time zones from Asia, through Europe to the Americas.

The exchange rate margin is the difference between the best exchange rate available on the interbank foreign exchange market (between the best bid rate or the ask rate) and the exchange rate that we offer you. Roklen’s exchange rate margin depends on the volume of the exchange (price list) and reaches a maximum of tenths of a percent. Unlike traditional banks or exchange offices, where the exchange rate margin can climb up to 5.00%.

Most domestic and foreign payments are free, but some may be a subject to a fee. You can find a detailed RoklenFx price list here .

When sending a foreign payment to Roklen, we recommend choosing ING banks accounts as a beneficiary since foreign incoming payments are not a subject to a fee in this case.

In the case of international payments, a fee may be charged by so-called correspondent banks. This fee is deducted from the total amount sent. RoklenFx cannot affect this fee and is not its income.

Registration, maintenance and cancellation of a multi-currency account is completely free. You have no obligation to trade with RoklenFx after you open an account. You can execute the trade whenever you want.

Telephone trading:
First you confirm the exchange rate and other parameters of the exchange with our broker, then you will receive a “Trade confirmation”. By the next day at the latest, you must transfer the amount to be exchanged to your multi-currency account at Roklen (list of accounts here) . Eventually, the exchange will take place and we will send the exchanged funds to the account specified by you. You can also keep the exchanged amount in your Roklen multi-currency account.

Online trading:
You can easily make an exchange and a desired payment in three steps. Same as when making an exchange over the telephone, you first enter the parameters of the trade, then confirm the offered exchange rate, select the recipient and finally transfer the amount to be exchanged in a correspinding currency.

No later than on the second day after the transaction. The sooner you transfer the funds, the faster we will be able to complete the entire transaction. The list of accounts where you can send your funds to, is to be found under this link .

Domestic payments regarding an exchange made during a weekday between 8:30 am and 4 pm can be settled within 60 minutes. The fastest settlement can be reached by sending and receiving your funds from and to the same banks with whom Roklen has its accounts opened. (list of accounts here) . Please note that exchanges made outside of our business hours can be settled with a slight delay of up to 2-3 business days.

Foreign payment usually takes 2-3 days to be settled, depending on the currency, country and conditions of the beneficiary’s bank.

If the funds are not credited to Roklen’s account in time, we will notify you and we will have to postpone the settlement of the trade. There are costs associated with this, which you will be charged with. In case that your funds do not arrive even after our notice, your trade may be canceled and you may be charged fees for the cancellation of the trade according to the valid Price List .

The transaction can be canceled by mutual agreement and payment of related costs. Detailed information can be found in the Price List .

This is not a difference in the speed of payment processing, but the difference is in the destination and currency being sent. Detailed list of countries and currencies for standard and priority payments can be found here .
