Multicurrency Account Complete User Guide
Complete User Guide Sections
1. Overview
The Key Multicurrency Account can help you reduce your international transaction costs and improve liquidity. Proceeds from the settlement of foreign receivables can be deposited directly into your account. Since no foreign conversion is required, payments can be credited to your account faster. If you have both currency-denominated payables and receivables Key’s multicurrency account can reduce foreign exchange rate risk by maintaining balances in multiple currencies to cover international payment obligations.
This guide will provide all the details you need for how to create and authorize your payments, as well as view your account activity.
