Getting started

Simple to start.
Simpler to use.

Opening a Misano account takes a few minutes. There’s no obligation to trade once you’re registered — but when you’re ready, you can transact online yourself or simply call or email and we’ll handle everything for you.

The process

Four steps from registration
to funds delivered.

Every Misano transaction follows the same clear, straightforward process.

1

Register online

Complete our short online registration form. Equals Connect, our FCA-authorised partner, will carry out identity verification — usually the same day.

You’ll need proof of identity and proof of address. Takes around 10 minutes.
2

Get a quote

Once your account is open, request a rate at any time — online through your platform login, or by calling or emailing us directly.

Ask us to watch the market on your behalf and alert you when the rate reaches a level you’re comfortable with.
3

Book your transfer

Confirm the rate online or over the phone. You’ll receive an email confirmation immediately, along with bank details to send your funds.

For forward contracts, you’ll pay a 10% deposit to secure the rate. The balance is due on or before the agreed settlement date.
4

Funds delivered

Once your funds arrive and are allocated to your trade, payment is made to your beneficiary swiftly and securely with full confirmation.

Add beneficiary details to your account in advance to make future payments even faster.
Your choice

Trade the way that suits you.

After you register

What to expect next.

1
Same day — usually within hours

Your account is verified and activated

Equals Connect carry out identity checks and open your account. We will inform you when your account has been opened, or should Equals first require a little more information.

2
No rush — at your own pace

No obligation to trade straight away

Your account is open and ready when you are. Many clients open an account months before they actually need to make a transfer — so everything’s in place when the moment comes.

3
When you’re ready to transact

Get a rate — online or by phone

Log in to your platform for a live rate, or pick up the phone. We’re happy to talk through the options with no obligation to book immediately.

4
Once you book

Send your funds — payment is made

You’ll receive bank details to send your funds. Once received and allocated, we send the converted currency to your beneficiary and confirm everything is complete.

Common questions

Things people often wonder.

“Do I have to commit to anything when I register?”

Not at all. Opening a Misano account is completely free and comes with no obligation to trade. Your account simply sits ready for when you need it — whether that’s next week or next year.

“Is my money safe?”

Yes. All client funds are held in segregated accounts with Barclays Bank by Equals Connect Limited, who are authorised by the FCA (FRN: 671508). Your money is never mixed with operating funds.

“What if I want to use my bank sometimes too?”

That’s entirely up to you. Having a Misano account doesn’t commit you to using it exclusively. Many clients use us for larger transfers and their bank for everyday banking.

“How long does a transfer actually take?”

Once your funds are received and allocated, payments are typically made the same or next working day. International transfers then take 1–3 working days depending on the destination.

“What if the rate moves after I’ve booked?”

Once a rate is booked and confirmed, it is fixed — regardless of what the market does. If you want certainty even further in advance, a forward contract locks in your rate for up to 12 months.

“What currencies can Misano handle?”

Misano can send and receive payments in 34 currencies through a single account. If you have a specific currency in mind, get in touch and we can confirm availability.
