For some countries, you also may need an international bank account number (IBAN) in addition to the bank code. You should obtain the bank code and IBAN, if applicable, from your receiver.
*Please use care when providing bank account information. Funds will be paid into the bank account corresponding to the account number you provide. The receiver’s account must be a local currency payout account.
An IBAN is used in some countries to identify a customer’s bank account. The IBAN is an alphabetical country code followed by 2 digits and then as many as 35 characters for the bank account. You should obtain the IBAN from your receiver.
A BIC is a worldwide code for bank identification. The BIC is the same as the SWIFT code and is usually 8 or 11 digits long.

If it can’t be located and more than 24 hours has passed since the expected value date, please contact our operations team using support@go2.exchange, who will initiate a payment investigation.
This will be due to unaccounted for intermediary fees applied by the sending or receiving bank. Go2 always uses the most efficient payment routes and makes every effort to cover these fees but on occasions they will be outside of our control. Go2 receives no part of this fee.
Intermediary fees are those charged by banks and other intermediaries outside of those charged by Go2 to make the payment. You have the option to choose if you or your beneficiary pays the intermediary fees.
If your beneficiary’s bank account holds currencies which are different to that which was sent it may have been converted by their bank upon receipt and it will incur another FX fee by beneficiary bank! To avoid this happening, please ensure your beneficiary gives you account details for accounts which are the same currency as the currency you are sending to them.

Yes. Only use Go2 to send money to friends and family. Never send money to someone you have not met in person. Scammers sometimes encourage people to transfer money. Do not transfer money to anyone who asks you to send them money. For an emergency situation you haven’t confirmed;

If you transfer money, the person you’re sending it to gets the money quickly. After the money is paid, Go2 may not be able to give you a refund, even if you are the victim of fraud, except under limited circumstances.
Please contact us immediately for assistance with the details of a transfer that you believe was sent for fraud. You should also file a report with your local law enforcement.
- Always make sure you know who you are sending money to.
- Discontinue a call if a caller coaches you to respond to questions asked by Go2.
- Security is everyone’s responsibility. Stay informed. Keep abreast of new fraud trends.
- Remember, if it seems too-good-to-be-true, it probably is.
All fees are paid by the sender. The receiver pays no transfer fees.
Individual

You should visit a participating agent location within 12 hours to pay for the money transfer you started online in order to send money at the exchange rate you secured.
*Due to local restrictions in some countries, the exchange rate can be fixed only when the money is collected.
Money transfers can be paid in cash, or sent directly into a receiver’s bank account, or sent to a mobile wallet (EWallet) in selected countries. Other restrictions may apply. To know more, please contact us.

Business
Our minimum transfer amount is HK$ 20,000.
For business we will see as frequent user so there may be fees, but we can agree on a fee structure up front that reflects how much business we do together.
Sometimes the banks in the middle and at the end will take a charge, so it seems that not all the money has been sent but we try our best to make sure all your money gets to where it needs to by covering correspondent and receiving charges where we can.
For business transfers, you can transact any amount above HKD20,000 (or equivalent in other currencies). For Go2 Account, there is no minimum transfer amount.
This depends on a couple of things, including the currency you are sending or buying, the bank used and the size of the transaction.
We send your payment out on the date agreed but you’ll need to allow one to four days for your funds to reach the recipient. The length of time depends on the currency.
For example, transfers to Australia and New Zealand will usually clear within 24 hours from the value date. If you’re sending USD to another country (not the US) then you should allow up to 4 days for it to clear. If it’s Sterling, US dollars or euros will usually arrive fully cleared with your bank the same day as per the value date though they may not credit your account until the next business day.
If you need funds to arrive by a particular date, please email us for advice and accurate information for the country you are sending funds to.
In rare circumstances delays may occur. Go2 will do everything reasonably possible to ensure that funds arrive on time but is not liable for delays caused by intermediary or receiving banks.
Yes, we can receive funds from an account in a different name to yours, but due to Anti Money Laundering regulations we will need to verify the source and will need supporting documents from you for compliance review. Please contact us for more details.
We can only send payments once your funds are with us and have cleared, so if you were to send funds to us via a slower payment method, your payment will take longer to leave.
You can send funds to Go2 at any time as long as they are cleared by the date of the outgoing payment on your trade confirmation. If your funds aren’t yet with us, your payment won’t leave.
Your payment will leave Go2 on the day stated on your trade confirmation, once your payment has been received by us and has cleared. Your beneficiary might not be able to access the money right away as their bank might take some time to clear the funds for them.
This doesn’t often happen, but if your funds don’t arrive within the expected timescale, then let us know as soon as possible so that we can set up an investigation with our bank. We will continue to liaise with our bank until the issue has been resolved and the beneficiary has received the funds, and we promise to keep you informed every step of the way.

Yes. But this will depend on the recipient currency. Currently all the currencies will not be able to make multiple payments from one transaction. For example, if the recipient currency is PHP, you will be able to send only a one payment related to particular transaction.
A booking is a contractual agreement whether it is confirmed online or over the phone. Any cancellation will be subjected to cancellation fees.
You can add the bank account details in “My Bank Accounts” page. But this will be required, only if you are trying to “Cash out” the money in your wallet. In order to add a bank account to a recipient, please go to the “My contact” page and add or update an account.
We send our funds via the swift network, TT/wire transfer or ACH payment for US.
