Bunker Fuel Payments. Settled in Hours, Not Days
UK-regulated payment platform built exclusively for the maritime sector. Access interbank-level FX rates, settle bunker transactions in as little as 8 hours, and eliminatethe costly delays and poor exchange rates that come with using a high street bank.
The Problem We Solve
Every time your vessel takes on bunker fuel, you face a hidden cost that never appears on yourinvoice — your bank’s exchange rate markup.A standard high street bank applies a significant markup above the interbank rate on everycurrency conversion. On a $886,500 bunker transaction, that markup can cost you over €6,000in exchange rate losses alone. Add the port waiting fees — approximately €2,500 per day —while your payment clears through correspondent banking chains, and a single refuelling stopcan cost your operation tens of thousands of euros in unnecessary charges.BunkerPay was built to solve this. Our platform gives maritime operators direct access tointerbank-level exchange rates and settles payments in hours — not days.
