Emerging players

• Currencycloud: Currencycloud is a Visa-owned cross-border payments platform providing FX and payment infrastructure to fintechs and SMEs. It supplies regulated infrastructure to Orbis while also serving overlapping end markets via its own customers.

Direct peers

• OFX: OFX is a global cross-border payments and FX specialist targeting SMEs and corporates with international transfer services, forward contracts, and dedicated account managers — a near-identical proposition to Orbis.
• Wise: Wise (formerly TransferWise) is a leading cross-border payments platform serving individuals and SMEs with multi-currency accounts and competitive FX rates. It directly competes with Orbis on price transparency, currency coverage, and target SME customer base.
• Equals Group: Equals Group (formerly FairFX) is a UK-listed FX and payments platform offering multi-currency accounts and international transfers to SMEs and consumers. Equals Connect is also a regulated service provider for Orbis, making it both partner and competitor.
• WorldFirst (Ant Group): WorldFirst provides cross-border payments and FX services to SMEs and online sellers, with strong UK and Asia-Pacific corridor coverage. It competes with Orbis on multi-currency accounts, competitive FX, and SME digital onboarding.
• Revolut Business: Revolut Business offers multi-currency accounts, international transfers, and FX services to SMEs via a digital platform. It competes with Orbis on price, digital UX, and corridor coverage for UK and European SMEs.
• Kantox: Kantox is a European FX and payments platform focused on SMEs and mid-market companies with international exposure. It offers multi-currency accounts, hedging tools, and dedicated account managers comparable to Orbis's proposition.
• Ebury Partners: Ebury is an FCA-regulated FX and international payments specialist focused on SMEs and mid-market companies. It is both a programme-management partner and a direct competitor to Orbis in the UK and European SME FX segment.

Broad incumbents

• MoneyGram: MoneyGram is a global cross-border payments network serving both consumers and businesses. Its digital and business payments services overlap with Orbis's SME cross-border transfer offering, though MoneyGram is far larger and more retail-oriented.
• Western Union Business Solutions: Western Union's business solutions arm provides international payments and FX to SMEs and corporates globally. As a much larger incumbent, it competes broadly with Orbis in cross-border corridors while offering a wider retail remittance portfolio.
