What Currency Solutions does

Currency Solutions Ltd is a UK-incorporated private company founded in 2003 that provides foreign exchange and international payment services to UK, EEA, and US-based businesses and individuals. Its core offerings span currency conversion across 170+ currency pairs, multi-currency accounts supporting 40+ currencies with company-name IBANs for local collection in EUR, USD, and GBP, and trade and invoice finance routed through a network of 200+ specialist funders. The company is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority for payment services (FRN 512130) and for regulated investment products including currency options (FRN 602082), and relies on CurrencyCloud entities in the UK and Netherlands and Visa Global Services Inc. in the US for underlying e-money and payment infrastructure.

The technology layer combines a self-serve online trading platform with an enterprise-style relationship model in which each client is assigned a personal portfolio manager providing tailored FX strategy, risk management guidance, and market insights. Local payment rails enable faster settlement and reduced transaction costs versus traditional bank transfers, and funds are safeguarded by FCA-regulated e-money partners in segregated accounts. Additional capabilities include a public API, a currency converter tool, and a monthly market forecast newsletter used as a content-led demand generation channel.

Revenue is generated primarily through spreads and fees embedded in foreign exchange transactions, supplemented by fees on multi-currency account services and referral/lead-generation economics from the trade finance network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; registration and account setup are free, and the company claims competitive rates versus banks due to lower overhead. GTM is hybrid — direct digital self-serve plus high-touch enterprise sales via portfolio managers — targeting a horizontal mix of industries. The company advertises £18bn in cumulative transactions since inception and "over a billion pounds in currency each year," and holds #1 Trustpilot rankings in Payment Services and Money Transfer Services as of mid-2026.
