In the Forex market where accuracy and efficiency matter the most, a smooth operation of your Forex CRM demands efficient Payment Service Provider (PSP) integrations. Having a genuine PSP integrated with your CRM system, you get assured of secure transactions and uplift the user experience for yourself as a broker and your traders. Having said that, there are plenty of PSPs available in the market, and choosing the right one could be a challenging task for the broker. Here we try to solve some of your doubts while selecting the right PSP. The things you need to consider are as follows:
PSP’s possibilities of integration
Any PSP that you choose should be able to have a seamless integration with your CRM system. This quick and smooth integration would allow you to save time, reduce your chances of errors, and showcase a streamlined experience to your customers. The PSP should offer easy integration with the help of APIs and other tools. Moreover, if the PSP supports more than one trading platform, it will be an added advantage.
How secure and compliant is the PSP
The Forex market revolves around vast amounts of money and certain crucial transactions, so security is the most important factor here. The PSPs you are shortlisting should offer strong security features like encryption, fraud detection, two-factor authentication, etc. Moreover the PSP you choose should be compliant with the relevant authorities' rules and regulations for example PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
Does it reach globally with multi-currency support?
In the Forex market, the transactions will be from the whole world and in multiple currencies. The PSP should be able to handle global transactions and support various currencies. Also, the client should be able to make payments via debit/credit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and cryptocurrencies as well.
Are the transactions fast and reliable?
In the fast-moving market, if the deposit or withdrawals get delayed, there would be dissatisfaction in traders which will lead to the loss of potential clients. The PSP should ensure fast execution for both deposits and withdrawals. Also, the broker should check if the PSP is reliable as far as downtime and issue resolution is concerned.
Understanding of Fee structure
The fee structure would be different for different PSPs. some may cost low transaction fees but higher currency conversion or withdrawal fees. And some may charge consolidated moderate charges. One needs to understand the structure thoroughly including transaction fees, currency conversion fees, withdrawal fees, and any hidden costs associated with a specific PSP. Clarity and simplicity in the structures would help broker manage their finances smoothly and avoid unexpected expenses.
After-sales support and service
Same as we select any other service, while selecting PSPs taking note of support policy is very important. You should be able to connect with the PSP support team quickly in case of any issues. Many PSPs offer 24/7 support with a specific team member allotted to a specific broker. You can evaluate the PSP based on the reviews and case studies from other brokers and select the best provider for your brokerage.
How reputable is the PSP
For any service provider, maintaining a reputation is very important to attract new customers. Being a broker you need to look for a PSP that has a clean track record and has good reputation when it comes to providing reliable and quality service. Check for how long the provider has been in the market and where are most of their clients based. Also if the PSP has won any esteemed awards or acclamations. Such research would help you find the best provider.
Future capacity for customization and scaling
You will grow as a broker and you would assume the service providers associated with you to grow along. Choose the PSP which has a scope to grow in terms of customization and upgradation. It should be able to handle higher volumes and expand into new markets with no compromise on performance.
