Exchange bank: how to work in the sales area?

Find out what the day-to-day life of foreign exchange operations is like and how to be part of a financial institution’s sales team.

 

 

Whether for new talent or professionals with experience in the field, the financial solutions market is full of opportunities. Data from the Global Fintechs Rankings, prepared by Findexable in 2021, show that Brazil already occupied the 1st position among the Latin American countries that represent the large global ecosystems of finance startups (fintechs). Also considering traditional banks and exchange banks, it is possible to have an idea of the size of the sector.

 

In the foreign exchange sphere, where services and technologies are developed to facilitate the flow of values between different countries and their respective currencies, there is a role that is irreplaceable: the consultants who work in the commercial area. Meeting the demands of each client, understanding their particularities, and promoting the exchange rate closing in the most advantageous and safe way possible is just one of the attributions of this professional.

 

Currency exchange: what it’s like to work in the commercial area of a bank

 

A daily life full of challenges, where communication and resilience are key to success. The commercial area of an exchange bank like Bexs serves representatives of small and medium-sized companies on a daily basis, enabling international remittances in operations that can be customized and structured on a case-by-case basis.

 

In addition to executing the exchange rate closing, the sales professional is also responsible for prospecting new clients and increasing business with clients who are already part of their base or were at some point. Through a close service, via telephone or Whatsapp, all doubts are answered in a transparent manner, strengthening the relationship.

 

Keeping up to date with the main world news, incorporating small operational improvements into daily life, being flexible with clients, knowing how to work under pressure and being resilient to overcome adverse situations are characteristics that are highly valued in this area.
