This is made worse for UK businesses by major banks and even many new 'disruptors' in the forex space being non-transparent and, in some cases, blatantly misleading, with their charges. The truth is, every provider in the industry can buy foreign currency at the same rate at the same time. The difference comes in how much they then sell it on to their customers for. We're very proud of the disruptive nature of SettlePay and fully expect it to lead to a significant amount of awkward conversations between SMEs and their current Forex providers once the lid is lifted on charges they've incurred." *High Street Banks polled; HSBC, Lloyds, Barclays, RBS/Natwest About SettlePay SettlePay is a Nottingham, London & Singapore-based startup and wholly owned subsidiary of Fintech firm, Whites Group.
