About CurrencyCloud: Building the Payment Infrastructure the World Deserves
CurrencyCloud was founded with a bold vision: to remove the friction, opacity, and excessive cost from international payments. For too long, moving money across borders has been an exercise in frustration — slow settlement times, hidden fees, unpredictable exchange rates, and a complete lack of transparency. We believed there had to be a better way, and we set out to build it. Our journey began in London's fintech ecosystem, where we recognized that the emerging wave of digital banks, payment apps, and financial platforms all shared a common challenge: they needed reliable, scalable, and affordable cross-border payment infrastructure. Building that infrastructure from scratch — negotiating with correspondent banks, obtaining licenses in multiple jurisdictions, building FX engines, and managing compliance across dozens of regulatory frameworks — was prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for most companies. So we built it for them. CurrencyCloud's platform provides a single API layer that abstracts away the complexity of the global financial system. Our clients connect once and gain instant access to multi-currency accounts, competitive FX rates, and payment rails spanning 180+ countries. We handle the banking relationships, regulatory compliance, and technical infrastructure — so our clients can focus on building great products for their customers. Over the years, we've grown from a small London startup to a global payment infrastructure provider processing over $100 billion annually. Our technology powers the international payment capabilities of some of the world's most innovative financial companies, from fast-growing neobanks to established financial institutions serving millions of customers. In 2021, we were acquired by Visa, marking a transformative moment in our history. The partnership with Visa amplifies our capabilities, giving us access to the world's largest payment network, deeper liquidity, and the resources to accelerate our product roadmap. Together, we're building the next generation of cross-border payment infrastructure that will serve the global economy for decades to come. Our team spans offices in London, New York, Amsterdam, and Cardiff, bringing together experts in payments, technology, compliance, and financial services. We're united by a shared belief that the way money moves around the world should be fundamentally better — and that technology is the key to making it happen. At CurrencyCloud, we measure our success not just by the volume of transactions we process, but by the businesses we empower and the end customers whose lives are improved by faster, cheaper, more transparent international payments. Whether it's a freelancer receiving payment from an overseas client, a small business paying international suppliers, or a family sending money home, every transaction matters — and we're committed to making every one of them seamless.
