Bahrain Financing Company launches new online FX booking service

With their core focus on always providing customers with a safe, fast and reliable service that accommodates their FX and remittance needs, BFC is now offering a product which offers customers a quick and hassle free way to pre-order their foreign currency online.

The BFC FX online booking form provides customers with a safe, free and easy way to pre-order their foreign currency to ensure that it is in stock before they visit the branch to collect it. The online booking form, which takes only a few minutes to complete, requires the customer's name, CPR number, required currency and amount, and a branch for collection. Once the form has been submitted a BFC Customer Service representative will call the customer to confirm the booking and the foreign currency will be held until the next working day for collection.

With 45 currencies in stock, no booking fee and the promise of the best available rates, customers traveling for business or pleasure will now be able to do so with the reassurance that their foreign currency needs can be met without delay or disappointment. In addition, if BFC does not stock the required currency it can be arranged within 4 working days.

Commenting on the launch of the online FX booking service, BFC General Manager, Errol Fonseca said, "This online capability is yet another example of how BFC is consistently upgrading and evolving its services to make our customers lives easier, by providing them with relevant products which are convenient and save time. We understand the importance of enhancing our customers experience and by pre-ordering currency before travelling eliminates last minute panic buys which could result in poor rates and charges."

In addition to the online FX booking service, BFC also offers premium FX services to platinum and gold corporate clients, providing them with secure cash collection and door delivery, ensuring that all foreign exchange transactions are collected or delivered the same day providing the transactions are completed before 11 am on weekdays.

As the first foreign exchange company established in Bahrain in 1917, BFC specialises in moving money smartly and efficiently with the best rates in the market. With an extensive global reach covering over 200 countries, BFC offers customers unparalleled service, a vast array of innovative retail products and unbeatable exchange rates.
