“Switching to Millbank FX saved us thousands by securing better pricing
 and reducing FX risk”

S.Akim CEO | Adpress International

The Problem

Without Millbank FX
Traditional banks charge hidden fees and uncompetitive exchange rates
Payments take too long, causing cash flow disruptions
No dedicated support when you need help—just long waits and generic service

The Solution

With Millbank FX
Lower FX Costs—get institutional rates & transparent upfront pricing
Faster Payments—move money globally in hours, not days
Personalised FX Strategy—get support from a dedicated FX dealer

If your margins are tight, your FX strategy should be tighter

Making the switch to Millbank FX might seem like a big step—after all, you've likely been managing your currencies the same way for years.

But sticking with the status quo comes at a hidden cost: every exchange rate swing, every delayed payment, and every missed opportunity to secure better margins adds up.

The reality? Many businesses have already made the switch and are reaping
the benefits.

Still have questions?

01
Why choose Millbank FX?

Millbank FX is a financial institution executing billions of pounds worth of transactions a year. This provides our clients unique access to multiple liquidity providers as opposed to a singular bank. Many of our clients operate on tight margins and face long payment cycles between order confirmation and fulfilment. Millbank FX provides forward contracts, market orders, and risk management strategies to lock in exchange rates, so currency fluctuations don’t eat into your profits.

02
Why is it more cost effective to trade with Millbank FX instead of my bank?

It's simple. We make money on the exchange rate spread; the difference between the buy and the sell rate. The only difference is that we charge a smaller margin and profit than other brokers and banks. We also eliminate extra fees, charges and commissions. It is also important to highlight that, unlike major banks and financial institutions, we don't have large overheads.

03
Can you help with multi-currency payments to international suppliers?

Yes. Our multi-currency business account lets you send and receive payments in 80+ currencies, reducing unnecessary conversion fees. This is ideal if you buy from growers and suppliers across multiple regions and want to avoid losing money on multiple conversions.

04
How can I ensure price certainty for my supplier agreements?

Currency volatility can erode margins between contract agreement and payment. With forward contracts, you can lock in a rate when you place an order—so you know exactly what you’ll pay, regardless of market movements.

05
What if I need to make a large, one-off payment?

For bulk purchases or seasonal supply payments, we offer institutional FX rates to ensure you get the best possible price. We also provide market orders, so you can set a target exchange rate and automatically execute when it’s reached.

06
How are payments quicker and more efficient with Millbank FX?

Speed is critical for all of our clients. All outgoing transfers are sent via the faster payment rail available for that particular currency. Most currencies will credit the same-day we receive client funds, removing any time delays. For all UK domestic payments, we send payments by same-day CHAPS. We always retain beneficiary bank details to avoid any need to email details every transaction you complete.

07
Is there a cost to open an account?

No. No setup fees, no monthly fees, and no hidden charges. You only pay for the FX transactions you make—nothing else.

08
Will I need to change my existing banking setup?

No. Millbank FX integrates seamlessly with your existing business accounts. You keep full control over your funds while accessing better rates, faster settlements, and tailored risk management strategies.

09
How do I know if my business actually needs an FX strategy?

If your business makes cross-border payments, imports goods, or deals with currency fluctuations, you need an FX strategy. Even small rate shifts can wipe out your margins. Millbank FX helps you assess risk, lock in better pricing, and stabilise cash flow so your business stays profitable.

10
How long does it take to get my account set up?

As soon as we have received your completed Millbank FX application, we'll seek authorisation from our compliance department. We will also need to carry out a "Know Your Client" (KYC) process on all new clients. Your account can then be opened and confirmed by email within the same day.

11
How quickly can I trade?

Your trading account can be activated within minutes of receipt of your completed documentation and Millbank FX authorisation.
