We want to keep you and your money safe while you’re using Xe. One of the ways we do this is through a process called verification.
Verification is where we confirm your identity, just as you would do when registering for other financial services.
When we ask you to complete verification is determined by a number of factors, such as where you’re sending money from and how much you’re sending with us.
Typically, this process takes just a few minutes. Don’t worry. We’re here to help guide you through the process.
We have a legal obligation to make sure you're genuinely who you say you are. It's as simple as that.
The information we gather during the verification process is used to protect the interests of Xe and our clients against financial crime.
As part of this essential process to prove you are who you say you are, we will sometimes ask you to provide a proof of identity and a selfie.
Occasionally, we will also need some additional information, such as a proof of address document or source of funds.
What we will need from you can depend on a number of factors, such as:
- The size of your transfer
- The country you are sending your money to
- The country you are sending your money from
All of this can be supplied online or in the app and we’ll check this to confirm your identity using safe and secure third-party verification services.
In most cases these checks are completed in real time and you’ll be ready to send money within a few short moments.
Our verification process will always explain what is required and how to provide it.
To ensure we can get you verified as quickly as possible and get your transfer confirmed, please also note the following tips:
- We can only accept images in colour
- Scanned copies will not be accepted on our platform
- We need to be able to see everything, so please ensure your image and information is not blurry and nothing is covered up

A 'selfie' is a digital photo of yourself. Some of our checks can only happen once we have both a picture of your proof of identity, as well as a picture of you.
To do this, simply follow these steps:
Select your document which you will use for verification
Take a picture of that document
Next, take a selfie, ensuring your face is inside the selected area. Please also ensure:
- You keep a straight face
- You aren't wearing any glasses
That’s it. You should be up and running shortly.
To help you get your transaction completed as quickly as possible, we now stagnate our due diligence process.
This means that from time to time, we may need to ask you for more information to support your transactions.
As you continue to transfer with us, we may ask you for information such as the source of your funds, some more information about who you are or the purpose of your transfer.
By doing this, we ensure that you don’t have to deal with anything that is not strictly necessary for your purposes.
We appreciate that these checks can sometimes appear at inopportune moments, and often you may not have these documents on hand.
Don’t worry. You can always select ‘do this later’ and come back to it at a more convenient time.
If you’ve selected this option and are looking to upload your documents, head to Track, where you should see an option to upload your required verification documents.
We want to make using Xe as simple and enjoyable as possible.
Whether it’s for business, shopping, or travel, XE’s currency tools are free and easy to use. Try the web’s most used currency calculator- the XE Currency Converter.
With our Currency Update Service, you can keep up to date with forex news and learn about every world currency in our Encyclopedia. Plus, you can take the same trusted rates on-the-go with our XE Currency mobile apps.
Rate Alerts are useful if you want to know when a pair of currencies, like US Dollar to Euro, reach a target rate. Set up a rate alert for a currency pair and we send you a push notification, and an email if you choose, when your currencies reach your target rate.
We don’t just have the information on today’s rates. If you’re looking to view the history of a currency’s value for future market analysis, we can help you with that as well. We keep historic currency data in easy-to-read, interactive charts that can tell you every move a currency has made within the last 10 years.
Head to our blog to read all about how we can help with your personal or business needs on Xe. We provide articles on topics such as money transfer, personal finance, travel, business, relocating, currency news and more.
Rate Alerts are available on our app and website. To set up a Rate Alert in the app, you must register on your device by tapping the bell icon at the top right of the screen.
After creating your account and verifying your email, enter the rate alert screen by tapping bell icon and tap the + to create your alert. Select the currency pairs with the amount you expect it to reach to set the alert. You can either use the slider to select your chosen amount or enter it manually using your keyboard.
You can sign up on our web experience by visiting the XE Rate Alert page in our tools section and following the instructions.
To organise your alerts, you can give a nickname to your currency pair selection. We offer push notifications on our app in addition to email notifications, which are the standard way of receiving alerts on the web. In the app, head to profile, followed by settings, and finally notifications to manage your preferences.

WorldFirst is closing its support for private clients.
Xe, however, is open for personal transfers and we're delighted to help you make your international money transfers.
WorldFirst has decided to focus on its business services and therefore will discontinue its private client service. You can make and receive transfers as normal up until April 10.
If you register by 10 April 2021, we can match the rates offered by WorldFirst for your first two years with us.
You can continue to make transfers on your WorldFirst account until your closure date. This specific date was emailed to you in February. Please ensure you withdraw any remaining balance from your account before it closes.
Your regular transfers with WorldFirst will stop after your account closes, but you'll need to stop any standing orders or repeat payments to WorldFirst. Click here to see how to set up a new regular transfer with Xe.
If you wish to retain any transaction or statement information from WorldFirst, you should download these as soon as possible.
A WorldFirst forward contract will not extend beyond the closure date of your private client account.
Market order(s) will be valid up until the closure date. WorldFirst will cancel any outstanding orders beyond that date.
Don’t worry though as we offer both of these products, making your transition from WorldFirst to Xe a seamless process. Click here to find out more information about our market orders, or read more about our forward contracts here.
Create a business account online using our secure web platform. Business accounts are currently only available using our website and are not supported by our app.
Registration is a simple process and you can follow these steps:
Head to xe.com/business and click the Get a Free Account button
Give us your email address and select a password
Fill in some basic company information about the business you want to register
Enter your own personal details
Tell us some basic information about how you intend to use the service (e.g. currency pairings you’re interested in, how much money you think you’ll be sending etc.)
Agree to the terms and conditions
Await approval from a member of our team
We take your security and safety very seriously and, much like with personal accounts, we must verify your business account before approving your registration and allowing you to begin using our services.
No business accounts will automatically be approved after registration. We review every application to meet regulatory requirements and to help us identify the best service for your company. Expect to hear from us by email or phone shortly after completing the online process to complete the next steps.
How the verification process works can vary depending on factors such as where you’re located, the nature of your business and the amount you’re looking to trade with us. All applications are handled with care and are given full consideration by our team. We may ask for some additional information and documents at this time.
Once you’ve completed the registration and verification process, you’re ready to go!
