What Kantox does

Kantox is a London-headquartered Currency Management Automation software provider founded in 2011 that builds an API-first SaaS platform automating the entire corporate FX workflow—from exposure collection, rules-based hedging execution, and trade settlement through to hedge accounting and payments. The platform is anchored by the proprietary Kantox Dynamic Hedging® engine and four integrated modules (In-House FX, Hedge Accounting Module powered by Zanders, Dynamic Pricing, and Payments & Collections), with native pre-built integrations to the four major ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite) and the two leading corporate FX trading platforms (FXall, 360T). The company is regulated as a payment institution by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 580343) and the Bank of Spain (registration 6890), and has been a subsidiary of the BNP Paribas Group since the February 2020 investment. The customer base comprises enterprise and mid-market CFOs, treasurers, and finance teams operating across multiple currencies in verticals including Travel & Tourism, Digital Advertising/AdTech, Food & Beverage, Chemicals, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Logistics, and Fintech, with named logos such as FNAC, Fareva, Hotelbeds, Profine, Evaneos, Besins, Capchase, Olmix, and VeryChic.

Kantox monetises through annual subscription SaaS contracts with quote-based pricing tied to usage scope, entity count, and module selection, distributed primarily via direct enterprise field sales organised regionally (DACH & Italy, UK, France, BLX & Nordics) alongside inside sales and API-first self-integration for larger clients. Customer outcomes cited include up to 60% reduction in FX fees for Profine in certain entities, approximately €50,000 in annual bank-fee savings and 200 hours/year of manual processing eliminated for Dulevo Fayat, and over 500 transfers per month automated at Evaneos. The company has accumulated a multi-year award track record (TMI Best Risk Management Solution 2018-2022 and 2025, Deloitte Technology Fast 500 2016-2018, FX Week Best e-FX Platform 2019) and achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification in October 2023, signalling both product maturity and enterprise-grade security posture.

The business is privately held, headquartered at 10 Harewood Avenue in London, with a regional office at Torre Mapfre in Barcelona serving the EU market under post-Brexit regulatory separation. Cumulative disclosed funding totals roughly $43.8M across eight rounds from 2011 to 2020, with BNP Paribas now the parent following its 2020 investment and earlier backers including Partech, Idinvest Partners, Cabiedes & Partners, and Silicon Valley Bank. The company does not disclose revenue, ARR, or customer count, but operates with 101-250 employees and serves customers in 35+ countries across multiple industries.
