Overview

Smart Currency Business has a longstanding working relationship with manufacturers in a wide range of industries, from fashion and aviation to industrial materials and home furnishings.

Currency exposures

We know that many manufacturing companies have significant currency exposures, whether through the need to import their materials, export their products, or both. Fluctuating currency rates can therefore have a disproportionate impact on manufacturing company margins. To mitigate this risk, we help create a bespoke solution for each company, planning a strategy that is optimal for their individual needs.

“Manufacturing is a strong focus for our business. As we import materials from abroad, it’s crucial that we save on currency costs. Smart Currency Business has helped us secure our bottom line and eliminate risks on our international payments, with knowledgeable guidance on the best time to buy and sell currency. We’ve used banks in the past, but they’ve never been as quick or efficient.”

Be aware of hidden costs

We also understand that manufacturers can incur hidden costs in other aspects of their operations, from re-making samples to fit a buyer’s specifications, to late payments that can affect your cash flow. This is why we aim to make your currency exchanges as simple, efficient and transparent as possible, helping you to avoid unnecessary losses through bespoke strategies for minimising the risk of currency market fluctuations. We provide manufacturers with tailored currency services and currency hedging strategies with no commission.
