Alex has over a decade of experience helping corporate clients and individuals to remit payments around the world.  Starting in banking in 2006, before moving to a specialist corporate foreign exchange where he worked until 2017.  He then became independent setting up MPG in order to partner with multiple foreign exchanges, expand services and negotiate excellent terms to enhance client experience.  

 Here is a list of testimonials from clients across various industries

 Jane at an aerospace components supplier

We have international clients that needed to pay us into currency accounts in our company name.  Our bank could no longer help with this & there were very few exchanges that could set these types of accounts up.  Alex helped onboard us with the exchange that could offer this capability & has been a pleasure to work with since.

 Jim at an industrial wire supplier

I’ve worked with Alex for over a decade.  As our business grew to supply major customers like Dyson, we needed to setup an US Dollar account to receive commissions into.  We get notified the minute funds hit the account.  Sometimes we allow the account to build and Alex lets us know good times to book or if the £ looks likely to go out of our favour.  Very helpful.

 Nicola at an international air conditioning supplier

Most of what we do is quite straightforward.  We have inter-company transfers and pay our suppliers across Europe.  However, we like to organise our exchanges in the evenings and then set the bank payments up.  Alex is always on hand to help set up our transfers.

 Lesley at an oil, gas and energy components supplier

We quote our customers for jobs which normally come to fruition anywhere up to a year ahead.  Alex helps us to lock in forward contracts at great prices so we can protect our margins on deals and avoid exchange rate risk. 

 Mo at a truck parts supplier

We have many suppliers across the world.  Alex not only saves us money but he saves us time also.  I send him across the invoices to pay and within a matter of minutes the exchanges are setup and ready to send.  We click a button our end to send funds from our bank and the outgoing payments are then sent out within the hour.

 Melvyn at a beauty supplies manufacturer

We usually top-up our USD account with a surplus of funds to then make payments to our suppliers in future.  Alex lets us know when the £ is above average or looks likely to turn back the other way, so we can top up our accounts in a timely fashion.

 Tim at a plastics supplier

Alex goes the extra mile to help make sure our payments are secure.  Our suppliers in the far east change their bank accounts over email a lot.  Alex goes the extra mile to get in touch with our suppliers over the phone to make sure that the changes have indeed come from our contacts there.

 Mark at an IT software and products reseller

I am based overseas and our company is in the UK.  We have customers in Australia that pay us on occasion which we then convert back to sterling.   I also need personal funds remitted overseas.  Very efficient service & excellent prices can’t fault it.

 Chris at a construction machinery supplier

We need to make large purchases of machines from our suppliers overseas in order to for fill customer orders.   Alex set us up with a large foreign exchange called Currency Cloud.  We feel very comfortable using their service and it’s very quick.   Alex is always available to facilitate the transactions and make sure they run smoothly.  

 Roger at an adhesive’s supplier

We normally book forward contracts in when the price is in our favour.  It’s not an exact science but we tend to know our order book in advance.  If we need more time to settle our contracts Alex is very helpful in extending them.

 Christina at an auto parts supplier

Alex contacts us when the rates are above average.  We then purchase and keep floats of currency with the exchange Alex has set us up with in their protected accounts.  We need goods to move just in time and Alex is accurate with his work, ensuring our suppliers receive funds quickly. 

 Li at an global media and signage company

Alex has been a pleasure to work with on our global projects for customers most recently a project with a major bank.  We have many international customers that pay us into our bank’s currency accounts.  Once the floats are at a certain level, we call Alex to exchange and switch funds between our currency accounts across our different companies.  The whole process is simple and funds are back in our bank within the hour.

 Geneva & Alan private clients

I’m a consultant for the EU agricultural sector.  Due to Brexit my job moved overseas.  We sold our house in the UK to then relocate.  Alex helped us to move our funds into Euros in time for us to purchase our next home.  Although daunting at first, Alex put our minds at ease when he explained and proved to us the securities that were in place with his partner exchange for moving a large amount of money over.  He was always on hand to answer our questions and take us step by step through the first transaction.

 John a plant reseller on Amazon

We have international customers stateside and in European countries.  Amazon’s strict process requires us to have bank accounts setup in these international jurisdictions so that we can receive our sales revenue.  Global banks charged us a fortune to repatriate these funds back to the UK.  There were very few exchanges that had the capability to set these types of accounts up.  Alex helped us get a much better deal on exchange rates than what the other offered.

 David at a food and seafood wholesaler

With the uncertainty surrounding the Brexit decision, we found it very challenging to lock in contracts with our customers who typically take a few weeks to come back to us with a final decision.  The implied volatility for the pound suggested a big move in either direction which could’ve adversely affected our margins, potentially leading to a loss of an important customer whilst the quote was up in the air.  Alex referred us to a specialist to lock in an option to protect us from any adverse exchange rate movements, which took most of the risk out of the equation, whilst we waited for our customer to agree the deal.
