Under the new agreement, the Saxo Payments Banking Circle will help FC Exchange deliver sophisticated solutions, across multiple currencies, to its rapidly expanding client base.
Based in the City of London, FC Exchange delivers specialist currency transfer and international payments solutions. As one of the first foreign exchange companies to become an Authorised Electronic Money Institution (AEMI), FC Exchange remains at the forefront of the industry when it comes to client security and customer service. Building on these strong foundations, FC Exchange is successfully undertaking aggressive growth plans, extending its product set, as well as diversifying into new markets.
The new partnership with Saxo Payments is set to play a key role in helping FC Exchange achieve its growth plans, allowing it to better serve larger businesses in new vertical markets it is targeting. The new scalable and flexible Saxo Payments platform will support the business as it attracts larger clients in new markets. In particular, the ability to issue bank accounts in 20+ currencies brings real added value for businesses selling internationally.
