OFX for business in India: Not available

Key eligibility
OFX opens accounts for businesses in its served markets, including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and the European Union. A business registered in India is not among these onboarding markets.
Non resident position
OFX account holders must be in a market where OFX is regulated. A company registered only in India cannot open an OFX account, although senders abroad can transfer funds to Indian bank accounts through OFX.
Local currency support
OFX can convert and pay out Indian rupee to Indian bank accounts for senders in its served markets, but it does not provide an Indian rupee account to India registered businesses.
Headline monthly fee
Not applicable for opening an account in India. OFX advertises no fixed transfer fee on many routes, earning instead from the exchange rate margin, for clients in its served markets.

Not for opening an account. As of 18 October 2025 OFX does not onboard businesses registered in India. OFX is a global money transfer and payments company regulated in markets such as Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and the European Union, and its account holders must be in one of those markets. OFX can send money to Indian bank accounts for senders abroad, but a business registered only in India cannot open an OFX account. Verify the current position with the provider.

Does OFX serve business customers in India?

Not for an India registered business. OFX is an Australia founded global payments company that runs international transfers and a Global Business Account for clients in its regulated markets, which include Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and the European Union. OFX is not regulated by the Reserve Bank of India and does not operate an Indian entity, so a company registered only in India cannot open an OFX account. OFX does support India as a destination, converting and paying out Indian rupee to local bank accounts for senders located in its served markets. As of 18 October 2025.

Eligibility for businesses in India

To hold an OFX account a business must be registered in one of OFX served markets and pass KYC and KYB, often providing a business registration number, ownership details and identification. A company registered only in India does not meet the residency and licensing requirements and cannot open an OFX account. An Indian group with an entity in a served market, such as Singapore, may apply through that entity instead. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no India account pricing because OFX does not onboard India registered businesses. For inbound transfers to India, OFX typically advertises no fixed transfer fee on many routes and earns from the exchange rate margin, and company related payments to India are subject to per transaction limits set by the receiving rails. As of 18 October 2025. As of 18 October 2025

What local users report

Indian exporters most often encounter OFX as the service an overseas customer uses to pay them, with funds arriving in their Indian bank account in rupee. For collecting from abroad as an Indian business in their own name, users generally turn to providers that onboard Indian entities, since OFX itself does not open accounts for India registered companies.

OFX does not appear to serve business customers in India as of 18 October 2025, or the position is unclear. Verify directly with the provider. Providers confirmed available in India are listed on the India country guide.
