Sending money to a Caribbean bank accounts via a 'Swift' transfer usually takes no more than 48 hours from the UK.

Each country in the Caribbean has a local currency which ranges from East Caribbean Dollar to Netherlands Antillean Guilder. Currency Index can supply certain Caribbean currencies, but the more stable US Dollar is accepted in each country and is the currency of preference for property purchases.

Caribbean Bank Charges

Caribbean Bank charges for incoming international transfers range from zero to around $50, depending on the receiving and routing banks. Currency Index Ltd has no control of these charges.

To access our live Dollar exchange rates, you will need to open an account, for which there is no cost or obligation. Our friendly, experienced staff will guide you through every step of the process, with one point of contact from start to finish.

Our exchange rates are based on the interbank level – the mid-market price at which banks buy and sell from each other. Currency Index Ltd will offer currency rates for your money transfer based on this rate, along with the volume you are trading, and prevailing market conditions.
