What is the FX fee on Tipalti?

When a payment requires currency conversion, Tipalti applies an FX fee on top of its wholesale exchange rate.³ Tipalti does not publish standard FX fees. Its pricing is typically customised based on factors like transaction volume, currencies, and your commercial agreement.

Some third-party sources suggest FX fees may decrease with higher transaction values, but these figures are indicative only and not officially confirmed. Always request a quote from Tipalti to understand the exact FX margin applied to your business.

Tipalti applies foreign exchange (FX) fees when currency conversion is required. Although the exact rates aren't publicly listed, they typically decrease as transaction value increases.

Transaction valueEstimated FX fee
Up to $499.99around 3%–3.2%
$500–$99,999.99around 2.5%
Over $100,000Around 1.9%

Tipalti pricing is generally quoted in USD on its US site, though the billing currency may vary by region and contract.

Moreover, who pays the FX fee depends on three factors: the bill currency, the payee's chosen currency, and your virtual account currency.³

  • No FX fee: The bill, payee's currency, and your virtual account are all the same currency.
  • Payer pays: The bill and payee's currency match, but you don't hold a virtual account in that currency.
  • Payee pays: The bill and your virtual account match, but the payee wants to receive in a different currency. The fee is deducted from the payment before conversion.

Currently, payers cannot absorb payee FX fees. Though Tipalti has indicated this may change in the future.³

Is Tipalti safe?

Tipalti Europe Ltd uses several layers of protection:67

  • Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) for payee access
  • SSL encryption for the payer dashboard
  • Role-based access controls with granular permissions
  • Tipalti Detect® fraud monitoring module

On Trustpilot, Tipalti has 91 reviews with a 3.5/5 rating.⁴

Positive reviews tend to highlight the platform's automation capabilities and customer support. Negative reviews cite payment delays and high transaction fees.

As with any payment platform, it’s advisable to speak with existing customers or request references before committing.

How do you get paid through Tipalti?

If you're a payee, a contractor, freelancer, supplier, or affiliate, the process works like this:

  1. You'll receive an invitation to register on the payer's Tipalti portal (Supplier Hub or a branded iFrame embedded on their website).
  2. You select your preferred payment method. Options typically include bank transfer, wire, PayPal, or cheque.
  3. You enter your banking or payment details.
  4. Payments are processed according to the payer's schedule.
  5. Track your payments anytime through the portal.

The portal supports multiple languages, which helps if you're receiving payments from a UK company but are based elsewhere.

What is the minimum payment on Tipalti?

There's no universal minimum payment amount on Tipalti. Instead, the payer (the business using Tipalti) can configure minimum payment thresholds within their account settings.

  • If a payment falls below this threshold, it may be held and combined with future payments until the minimum is met. This helps the payer reduce per-transaction costs.
  • If you're a payee and notice a delayed payment, it’s worth checking with the payer to see whether a minimum payment threshold applies.

Tipalti international payments: how they work

Tipalti supports payments to 200+ countries in 120+ currencies through six international payment methods.² For UK businesses, this typically includes Faster Payments, SEPA, international wire transfers, Global ACH, and PayPal.

On the Advanced and Elevate AP plans (or both mass payment plans), you can manage multi-currency funds and pay suppliers in their local currency.¹ The Elevate and Plus tiers include FX hedging, which can help manage exchange rate risk for larger or recurring payments.

If your primary need is sending international payments rather than full AP automation, you might find a more streamlined option that suits your business.
