The converting of currencies and the structuring of payment processes has evolved significantly since the first ‘non-bank’ license to do so was issued in 1996. Advances in online access to reporting, local settlement capabilities and currency card services have all contributed to bringing foreign exchange and payment services closer to the main stream and yet, many businesses and individuals still rely solely on their bank for the receipt and transmission of monies.
CrossbarFX’s clients consistently tell us that what they value the most is how easily they can contact our experienced dealers. The help we provide gives clarity to businesses and confidence to individuals. CrossbarFX fills in the blanks about how to send funds, what the markets are doing and how to best achieve the desired result.
Our mission is to offer customers the benefit of our significantly higher currency turnover. By marking up our rates by a fraction of that which a bank might, we deliver greater savings, every time.
CrossbarFX Ltd. was established in 2004 specifically to provide dedicated foreign exchange and international payment services. Since then our scope has expanded and we now cater for a broad spread of corporate and private clients based in the UK and overseas. Our focus is unashamedly local, but our reach is truly worldwide.
With over 50 years of collective experience in the FX and payments sector both in the UK and abroad, the CrossbarFX team know what it takes to deliver outstanding levels of service at the best possible rates. Our personality sets us apart and, along with our passion for simplicity and good sense, fuels our growth and development.
Rupert founded CrossbarFX in 2004 to build upon a similar business he founded in South Africa in 1995.
Based at CrossbarFX’s head office in the Lake District, Rupert not only services a select portfolio of key clients, but, he is also responsible for developing our global banking relationships, shaping our strategic vision and guiding the CrossbarFX team in delivery of our services to best and broadest effect.
“I started CrossbarFX because many of my contacts felt they weren’t getting the personal service they needed from their bank. By offering uncomplicated, common sense tools we have re-personalised the way our clients use specialist FX and payment services.”
“We see CrossbarFX as the poster-child for personal relationships with growing businesses and sophisticated private clients. Speaking the same language as our client base has allowed us to differentiate ourselves with distinction.”
