Why not just use a bank?

It’s a common question, and a sensible one, after all there are branches on every high street and there is little doubt your bank can help you in many ways. But that’s also the answer; banks are generalists whilst we are specialists.

Bank staff are unlikely to have the same expertise or latest market information that allows us to offer you an outstanding service. Nor will they watch the market on your behalf, keeping you informed as circumstances change. And, because we know it’s frustrating to explain everything twice – we make sure you’ve one point of contact – not a call centre.

Wholesale prices, better deals

Most importantly though, we buy at wholesale rates directly from the market – and that allows us to offer high-level prices direct to individuals and businesses. And we also offer a wider range of currency market tools, tailoring these to fit your needs or the needs of your business and its plans.

Multiple currencies – one single account

We won’t make you open up a separate account for every currency you want to trade – we think that’s just too complex. Instead we work the way you want to work making everything secure, and keeping everything in one place.

You can open an account with us now which is free and does not obligate you to trade. You can then find out if your bank is 'looking after' you in the same way they 'looked after' our 12,000 clients.
