What it is, and what it isn't.
Most internationally mobile clients lose more on currency than they realise. A 1.5% bank margin on a £400,000 property purchase is six thousand pounds, gone quietly, without an invoice.
Our foreign exchange desk gives clients access to interbank-aligned rates, scheduled transfers, forward contracts and limit orders. Whether you are moving an inheritance home, buying a property abroad, or paying salaries in three currencies, we structure the transfer so the rate works for you, not for a counter-party.

A live feel for what a transfer looks like. When you trade with our desk, you deal on a confirmed rate, not the mid-market figure shown here.
Why our clients use it.
The four things our clients most often tell us they value, drawn from a decade of conversations about this part of our work.
Interbank-aligned spreads
Transparent margins of 0.15–0.4%, against typical retail bank rates of 2–4%. For larger amounts, even less.
Forwards and limit orders
Lock in tomorrow's rate today, or wait for a target, whatever fits the trade.
Regular payment plans
School fees, salaries, pensions, rent: set the schedule once, we handle the rest.
Same-day execution
Major pairs settled same-day; minor pairs and exotics next-day. Confirmation in writing within the hour.
A simple, four-step engagement.
From the first call to ongoing service: what to expect, and when.

Onboarding
KYC and account opening, typically completed within 48 hours from documents in hand.
Execution
Trades executed by phone or platform, with written confirmations and a named dealer.
Settlement
