Are there any specific requirements for accepting invoice financing in different currencies?


Placements must use the same currency for payment and invoicing purposes. This means that candidates can only be paid and charged in the currency agreed upon.

For instance, if the client is invoiced in GBP (British Pounds), the candidate will also be paid in GBP.

If there is a need for your client or contractor to be paid and/or charged in a different currency, it is necessary to create a new placement using the specific currency required.
