Optimal Partnerships

An opportunity for you and your customers

Partnering with Optimal Currency lets you provide a value added service to your customers whilst growing your business. Our dedicated partnerships team will work with you to help your customers with overseas payments. We can support you in a variety of ways and are happy to accommodate different partnership ideas.

We have a powerful network of partners in the UK, Europe and further afield. Some of our close existing partners are in the Real Estate & Property Finding sector. Often they service British buyers and vendors, but the clients can be from anywhere if their home currency is different to where they are buying or selling.

We also work closely with Financial Advisers and Wealth Managers, from small independents all the way up to large PLC’s, adding value to their customers who have foreign assets. Many Accountants, Solicitors and Mortgage brokers also trust us to support them with FX enquiries from customers and enjoy the benefits of partnering with Optimal Currency.
