Currency conversion and cross-border payments for companies, trusts and licensed businesses, onshore and offshore. We learn your structure once, so your payments are not met with the same questions each time.
A boutique foreign exchange and payments house for international companies, trusts and licensed businesses. We take on fewer clients than a bank, understand each one in depth, and document every layer of their structure.
One team, familiar with your structure and your industry, handles all four services.
Spot conversion between EUR and major and regional currencies, priced on the day and confirmed in writing before you fund.
Outbound payments to suppliers, service providers and related entities, each recorded with its purpose and supporting documents.
Collections and scheduled payouts for businesses that pay many parties, such as affiliates, creators or trust beneficiaries.
Conversion between fiat currency and major digital assets for verified clients, with wallet verification and on-chain screening.
How we compare with a typical high-street bank and a typical payments app. Individual providers vary; the comparison reflects what clients tell us.
| CCYFX | Typical bank | Typical payments app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| iGaming, brokerage, adult and defence | Accepted where licensed and well controlled | Often declined by policy | Often excluded in the terms |
| Offshore companies and trusts | Onboarded, with every layer documented | Often slow, or declined | Limited support for trusts |
| Who you deal with | A named dealer who knows your structure | A call centre, unless you are very large | In-app chat and email |
| Onboarding | A document list written for your structure | Generic forms | Automated checks, few exceptions |
| Multiple entities | One login, entity switching, dual authorisation | Separate banking for each entity | Varies |
| FX pricing | Rate and fees confirmed in writing before you fund | Often not shown upfront | Shown upfront |
| Stability | Sector risk assessed and accepted at onboarding | Accounts may be closed after periodic review | Accounts can be frozen by automated rules |

We work with regulated and licensed businesses that mainstream banks often decline. Our onboarding is tailored to each sector, so the relevant questions are asked at the outset.
Licensed operators, platform suppliers and affiliates moving treasury, supplier and commission flows.
Regulated brokers paying liquidity providers, technology vendors and introducing brokers.
Platforms, studios and creator businesses that verify age and consent.
Manufacturers and contractors paying suppliers under valid export authorisations.
Holding, trading and investment entities in international financial centres.
Importers and exporters paying and receiving in foreign currencies.
International companies, trusts and fiduciaries are often entirely legitimate and still find banking difficult. We document each structure once, thoroughly, at every layer.
IBCs, exempted companies and LLCs used for holding, trading and investment.
Discretionary and fixed trusts, private trust companies and foundations.
Licensed trustees and corporate service providers with client portfolios.
Single and multi-family offices managing cross-border wealth.

Onboarding takes the most time, and we do it once, thoroughly. After that, each payment follows the same short routine.
Tell us about the entity, its owners, its industry and the payments you expect to make.
We verify the entity, its licences, its controllers and beneficial owners, and the source of funds.
Request a quote from your named dealer. Once you accept, we confirm the booking in writing.
Fund the trade from an account held in your own name.
We screen the payment, release it to the beneficiary and send you a confirmation.
Sound controls are what allow us to serve sectors that others avoid, and what keep your payments from being held up by questions.
We verify every client, its licences, directors and beneficial owners before any transaction.
Clients, owners and beneficiaries are screened at onboarding and on every payment.
We review payments against the activity you told us to expect, and follow up on anything unusual.
Refer client structures to a payments partner that understands them. We keep you informed through onboarding and respect your relationship with each client.
The same clear document requests for every structure you introduce.
With your client’s consent, we keep you updated at each onboarding stage.
One person at CCYFX who knows your portfolio.
We carry out our own checks on every client you introduce, separate from yours.
Companies, trusts, foundations and other entities, including licensed businesses in iGaming, brokerage, adult entertainment and defence. Every client must pass our due diligence, including verification of beneficial owners and, where relevant, licences.
A boutique Canadian foreign exchange and payments house, with its head office in Vancouver and a sales office in Hong Kong. CCYFX is a Money Services Business, not a bank.
It depends on the structure. A single-layer company with a complete document pack moves faster than a multi-layered trust structure. When you apply, we give you a document list and an estimated timeline for your structure.
Our base currency is EUR. We quote conversions between EUR and other major currencies, and between other currency pairs on request.
Practical answers to the questions we are asked most, from preparing an onboarding pack to identifying beneficial owners.
A full checklist for opening a payments account for an offshore company: corporate records, ownership, people, source of funds, purpose and common delays.
How the 25% beneficial ownership test works through holding companies, trusts and nominees, with worked examples and what happens when no one qualifies.
How payment and FX providers assess licensed iGaming businesses: business versus player flows, licences, group structures, affiliates, policies and documents.
Apply online in about ten minutes. We will reply with the documents your structure requires and an indicative timeline for onboarding.
