Mrs Maria Rossi works as an employee at the company ABC Sagl. Maria has two bank accounts, one in CHF and one in EUR. She needs to change 2,000 CHF into EUR to pay for a holiday in Italy. Ms. Rossi goes to http://www.wiretransferexchange.com/ and fills out the application form in full. Immediately, she receives, by email and also on the screen of her device, confirmation of her request and the bank details where she can send the amount of 2,000 CHF she wishes to exchange. At the first exchange, the lady is also asked to upload a double-sided, colour copy of her identity document to the site. Both the CHF account and the EUR account are in the name of Ms. Maria Rossi. Ms. Rossi makes the transfer in CHF as instructed and waits 24 hours. The next day, Ms. Rossi receives a confirmation e-mail from support@wiretransferexchange.com informing her that her transfer has been received, that the money has been exchanged into euros and that within 48 hours she will receive the amount in euros on the account she indicated on the form. After a short time, the lady receives the amount in Euro on her Euro bank account.
