Overview
Unfavourable currency exchange rates can damage a company’s finances and ultimately restrict growth. Importers and exporters need to avoid currency risk in order to protect their assets, margins and bottom line. Euro and dollar exchange rates in particular affect many of our UK clients. We help them to create bespoke strategies and treasury management solutions to protect them from currency movements as much as possible and make the most of favourable rate movements.
“We are a growing company, and we’re always dealing with international suppliers, manufacturers and distributors. Smart Currency Business understands how we work, and tailors the currency strategies according to what we need. We use the money we save on running other parts of our busy operations! What we like most about Smart though, are their great rates and customer service. Unlike other providers, Smart Currency Business always on hand to help with our specific currency needs.”
