We support exporters and digital SMEs by financial and corporate services:
Accounts & Payments Forex & Trade Finance Digital/Data short-term Finance Company formations & licensing
Once your clients and payments become global, or digital, you need new tools to keep moving without friction.
These include basic bank accounts and payments that are ready for multi-jurisdictional business. Multi-currency is one aspect – it helps if you can pay or get paid in the preferred currency of your clients and suppliers. Understanding and acceptance of your business and transactions is one step further to ensure payments are completed swiftly and smoothly.
Your business may also be better accepted and grow faster with new incorporations and licenses. In many leading markets and digital sectors this is required. We can help with a simple roadmap and basic corporate services to keep you on the right side of regulation.
We have a team of financial and IT experts and a curated selection of service providers for best technology and economies of scale.
Experienced banking & IT Central platforms connected by API Outsourcing for tech & scale Proper licensing & registrations
Keep focussed on your core business:
Even the largest banks rely on networks of regulatory licenses, service agreements and technology platforms. Regardless of the User Interface (your laptop, phone or ATM) there is no one-stop shop. As long as the provider of an activity has the proper permissions from the relevant authorities, commercial agreements in place, and the right software and hardware, the transaction executes and the service is performed.
We operate the same as all financial services in a highly competitive world of informed clients with choice. We draw on the best from banking and fintech to keep costs effective and risks mitigated.
Without the legacy issues of the big banks, we can be nimble, modern and safe with transparent operations.
We are good at what we do and stick to our knitting. We also protect ourselves and our clients by being selective and we do not accept the following:
Anonymous or "low KYC" clients Unlicensed where licenses are required Inconsistent geography of activities Unclear origin of funds Requests for tax advice or optimization
If you need to transition from an outdated structure or bad advice, let's get you on the right track and solid foundations:
When you onboard with a new financial services provider, remember all their other clients came in the same way.
Smooth service requires clear rules and fair treatment. It does not mean no rules and special treatment. More than ever, compliance keeps us all safe.
It is true that many banks have taken it too far and have turned the wisdom of low risk into a religion of no risk. That can be crushing for SMEs that have new business models based on international trade and digital markets.
It can be a challenge to keep up with official regulations and bank compliance. As your business grows you will need wider markets, open doors and an open mind.
Any barrier can become a fortress from the other side. Let's get you the right tools.
