Bringing light in the foreign exchange market.
We believe that it is time to change the finance industry to instil the virtues of transparency, efficiency and fairness. This is what drives us at Kantox. We are convinced that such change is not just inevitable, but that it will have a profoundly positive effect on the global finance industry and economy. Technological innovation is and will continue to be the vehicle for this change.
Our goal is to instigate such change through leading the fintech sector (financial services built on technological advances) in innovative solutions, ultimately driving development in the wider finance industry.
CEO and Co-founder @ Kantox is a pioneering foreign exchange solution, offering SMEs and mid-cap companies a comprehensive platform to manage their foreign exchange exposure and payments, based on transparency, efficiency and value.
We provide access to mid-market rates, FX alerts, tools to measure your FX exposure, SWIFT payments tracking, multi-users and multi-companies accounts and trading (spot, forward and market order) in a single venue.
Kantox was born out of the idea of disintermediating banks and brokers from the foreign exchange process, thereby driving down costs and administration time for companies. Instead of trading through a bank or broker, with Kantox, trusted companies trade with each other directly in our marketplace.
Kantox already serves 1.500 corporate clients across Europe and 2 Billion EUR have already been exchanged on the marketplace.
Kantox is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN: 580343, as a Payments Institution under the Payment Services Regulations 2009 for the provision of payment services.
