Receiving international payments

Electronic and paper-based solutions for receiving payments

At The Royal Bank of Scotland, your business has a choice of how it receives international payments. We can offer a fast, secure electronic solution through bank-to-bank links, or we can arrange to clear drafts and cheques from abroad on your behalf.

International payments include all cross-border payments - in sterling or currency - and currency payments within the UK.


Electronic payments

As the fastest and most secure payment method, our electronic solution could be the ideal answer for receiving funds from customers.

Drafts and cheques

We can clear paper-based drafts and cheques if they are preferred by your trading partners, although they are less secure than electronic solutions.
