Tips for accessing your CurrencyFair profile during public holidays

1) To log in to your CurrencyFair profile or to add a new bank account, you'll need to complete two-factor authentication. CurrencyFair supports two-factor authentication in two ways:

• Phone - using your registered primary number, we'll send verification codes by text message or automated phone call.
• Google Authenticator - you can opt in to Google Authenticator from your CurrencyFair profile. Find it on the App Store for iOS and on Google Play for Android. For even greater convenience, sync the Google Authenticator app to your CurrencyFair profile.

2) To manage issues with accessing your primary phone number when abroad, add a secondary phone number in the My Profile > Phone Numbers section of your CurrencyFair profile.

3) Please ensure you include your CFID (CurrencyFair ID) when setting up your Send Money transaction - this will mean that funds can be seamlessly received, exchanged and transferred.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!
