When you pay a supplier abroad, the hardest part is often the silence. The money has left your account, but you don’t know where it is, and your supplier won’t ship until it arrives. Volta is built to end that uncertainty.
1. Before you pay: one clear quote
Your quote shows the exchange rate and the exact amount your supplier will receive. No guessing, no surprise deductions on arrival.
2. Quote accepted: your rate is locked
Once you accept, your rate no longer moves. What you saw is what your supplier gets.
3. Documents verified
Our team checks your documents with you, such as your supplier’s invoice or pro forma. Getting this right before the payment leaves avoids delays later.
4. Funds sent
Your payment is on its way to your supplier’s bank. You can see its status at every moment.
5. Beneficiary credited
Your supplier has been paid, typically within 48 hours. You receive a receipt you can share.
Use your receipts to move faster
A receipt at every step is more than paperwork. Share it with your supplier to confirm the payment is underway, and ask them to release your order or book your freight without waiting for their bank statement.
Our tips
- Check your supplier’s bank details directly with them, and be wary of any last-minute change of account.
- Send a complete set of documents from the start.
- Group your orders: Volta handles payments from 5,000 EUR or the equivalent.
