Xpedite: Growing your business globally
In the dynamic world of banking, staying relevant and meeting the evolving needs of customers and partners is paramount. But, when it comes to achieving frictionless and cost-effective cross-border payments, things can become complex, especially when there is a cross-currency component involved.
At J.P. Morgan, we understand.
Leveraging our position as a top leading foreign exchange (FX) provider,1 we have developed Xpedite—cross-currency solutions with a “plug and play” infrastructure. It enables banks to offer their clients new products and capture new revenue streams without the need to build an understanding of local market complexities or deal with liquidity management and the risk of opening accounts in multiple currencies. Xpedite also allows clients to take advantage of multiple payout rails, including ACH, pay-to-wallet and real-time rails, where available.

Capture new revenue streams with Xpedite
Recognizing that one of the prime objectives of a bank is to provide seamless, quick, safe and cost-effective cross-border payments with FX capabilities, J.P. Morgan worked to develop an end-to-end solution.
“The trend today in network management is one of consolidation. So, looking at the capabilities a bank has to offer in other markets is important. Because if they cover many currencies, I don’t need to fragment our network. Instead we can use the same reliable partner for several currencies.”

Access transparent exchange rates
Ensuring visibility and accuracy in international exchange rates is key for a bank. With access to accurate and up-to-date currency exchange rates, determined through intelligent data, in-country analysis and industry-wide assessment, cross-border transactions can be vastly improved. Xpedite also lets you tap into benchmark rates that can be used to provide transparency to customers on exchange rates and how they compare to benchmark rates.
Mitigate risk and ensure payment precision
Today, FX volatility can pose significant risks for a bank and its clients. Therefore, equipping your business with the powerful tools needed to help mitigate currency risks effectively is important.
With advanced analytics and skillful insights, you can help protect your bottom line and navigate volatile markets with confidence. Xpedite helps strengthen risk management. This gives you the ability to proactively mitigate currency risk. We also understand that one size doesn’t fit all—by taking advantage of tailored solutions, you are able to better serve your clients.
Deliver trust through certainty
In an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny, trust is critical for banks and their clients. In order to maintain the integrity of cross-currency transactions—while ensuring payments are executed at appropriate exchange rates—it is important to adopt stringent compliance and robust security measures.
Our commitment to compliance and security allows you to instill confidence in your clients, fostering long-term relationships built on trust and reliability.
Strengthen global markets and liquidity pools

With a wide range of available funding currencies and competitive pricing at your fingertips, you can cater to the diverse and growing needs of your clients; unlock new opportunities; strengthen market position; and help drive client activity with a seamless cross-border payment experience.
