Before you transact: availability depends on the country, the currency and the purpose of the payment, and some countries require enhanced checks. Contact us to confirm a corridor, and see our prohibited and restricted countries.
African currencies depending on the corridor, and the major world currencies.
We check every business and every payment carefully, so that your money reaches the right beneficiary without being blocked along the way.
We serve registered businesses only. Before any transaction, we verify the company, its directors and the people who own or control it.
Each payment is backed by an invoice or equivalent document. We check it with you before you pay, to avoid rejections later.
Clients, beneficiaries and counterparties are screened against international sanctions lists before every transaction.
Unusual patterns are reviewed by our team, and we may ask for more information before a payment proceeds.
Documents and transaction records are kept securely for at least five years, with strict access controls.
For local payment processing, we work with payment service providers (PSPs) in Africa.
Most international payments leave you guessing twice: what they will really cost, and when they will really arrive. Volta shows you both, before you pay.
Our margin is included in one all-in rate shown in your quote. If a fee ever applies, for example for a returned payment, it is set out in your agreement before you transact.

We protect information with encryption, private storage, access controls and monitoring. No system is completely secure, so please keep your login details private and tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Volta website at pay.voltasquare.com and the Volta platform at app.voltasquare.com, operated by Volta Square LLC ("Volta"). By using our website or opening an account, you accept these terms on behalf of your business.
Volta provides business-to-business currency exchange and international payments. We serve registered businesses only and do not offer services to individuals acting for personal purposes. For local payment processing in Africa, we work with payment service providers (PSPs).
Before your first transaction, you sign our General Terms of Service electronically on the platform. They govern every transaction you make with Volta. If they differ from these website terms, the signed General Terms of Service prevail.
You agree not to use Volta for any activity listed in our Prohibited Industries and Countries policy, or for any unlawful purpose. Each payment must relate to a genuine transaction supported by accurate documents. We screen customers, beneficiaries and transactions against sanctions lists, may request information about the purpose of a transaction or the source of funds at any time, and report to authorities where the law requires it, without always being able to tell you.
Our margin is included in the rate shown in your quote. Any other fee, for example for a returned payment or a special request, is disclosed in your quote or agreement before you transact. Charges made by third-party banks on a returned payment are passed on at cost.
Volta is not a bank, and funds handled by Volta are not covered by any deposit insurance scheme. Details about our company and its registration are on our legal information page.
To the extent permitted by law, Volta is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including the actions of banks, partners or authorities. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us, once pending transactions are completed. We may close or suspend accounts with notice, or immediately where required by law or in case of a serious breach.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, and applicable U.S. federal law, unless mandatory provisions provide otherwise.
We may update these terms from time to time; the date above shows the latest version. Questions can be sent to info@voltasquare.com.
