Payments and exchange for businesses
One platform to convert your CFA francs, pay your suppliers, follow each payment and keep the proof.
Open an accountSupplier payments
One invoice, one payment, one record
Each payment matches a genuine transaction: goods, equipment or services, or an intra-group operation. You attach the invoice; the details read from it are suggested to you and you check them before confirming.
The payment goes to the beneficiary’s bank account, in their currency. Our team may ask for an additional document (contract, purchase order, transport document) before execution.
- Goods and equipment suppliers
- Freight forwarders and shipping lines
- Service providers and software vendors
- Subsidiaries and group companies
Several invoices
Several beneficiaries in one operation
Add several invoices and beneficiaries, even in different currencies. You settle by bank transfer, in one or several transfers, from a bank account in your company’s name, with the quote reference.
Any excess is credited free of charge to your Volta balance, where it remains available for your next payments.
Currency exchange
Today’s rate, all included
Rates are published every business day. During market hours the rate shown is guaranteed; in the evening, overnight and at weekends it is indicative and confirmed to you before you transfer.
The quote shows the amount to pay and the exact amount received by the beneficiary. Our margin is included in the rate: no separate fee. Once you confirm the quote, the rate is held for 24 hours.
Tracking and SWIFT proof
You always know where your payment stands
As soon as your funds arrive, the operation shows as “transfer in progress” with an estimated credit date: usually 48 hours, as a rule 72 business hours at most.
For each payment sent, the proof of payment (SWIFT or equivalent) can be downloaded from your account, ready to share with your supplier.
Alerts
Notified at every key step
You receive an email and a WhatsApp message when your funds arrive, when each SWIFT proof is available and when all the payments in the operation are complete.
Business account
One space for your whole team
The admin invites colleagues by email and chooses their role: admin, operator, accountant or viewer. Operations are reserved to admins and operators, checked on our servers.
Saved beneficiaries, invoices, statements for your accounts and the history of each operation stay available in the same space.
