Custom House

Custom House has provided its clients with extensive international payment solutions and foreign exchange services since 1992. We have grown to become one of the largest non-bank foreign exchange companies in the world with a global network of trading offices, dedicated banking relationships and strategic partnerships. We continually demonstrate outstanding quality of service, industry best practices, and ethical conduct.

When making international payments and conducting business abroad, volatile currency markets can raise your company’s expenses, diminish your profits, and make accurate long-term planning virtually impossible. Secure and efficient payment solutions can minimize this risk and can help your company do business faster and more efficiently than your competitors. Your dedicated Custom House payments specialist will customise our products and services to seamlessly integrate with your existing systems to meet your unique international payment needs.

Making or receiving international payments with large banks in foreign currencies can take days, and sometimes weeks. Meanwhile, currencies are fluctuating rapidly, affecting your bottom line. Custom House’s foreign exchange specialists keep their eyes on the market for you; we will help you take advantage of favourable market shifts and provide you with up-to-the-minute market updates. Your partners, suppliers or customers will receive their payments when they need them - and you gain a competitive advantage.

We are committed to upholding absolute standards of integrity and ethical conduct. At Custom House we ensure that our policies, compliance and monitoring programs meet foreign exchange regulations in diverse markets worldwide. This allows us to facilitate your business and FX requirements securely and ensures that your funds move quickly.

Custom House offers its corporate clients personalised support and customised services. We understand that each of our clients has different needs and industry-specific goals. Custom House specialists work hard to understand each client’s unique requirements and create a solution that meets those goals.

Whether you’re an importer or an exporter, a small business or listed company, Custom House will help you navigate the market to conduct your international business efficiently.
