Speaking on the new programme, Currencycloud director of partnerships Richard Stockley said, “Currencycloud has worked alongside Integrated Finance since shortly after its launch, and during that period, we’ve always felt a shared connection with the company’s values and outlook. So, when we heard about its Fintech Foundation incubator, we were excited to get involved.

“With our support, Fintech startups on the programme can quickly develop and implement scalable cross-border and FX solutions as part of their product offering, enabling more cost- and time-effective go-to-market strategies. The programme really emphasises the true importance of collaboration, which is so important to us.”

Currencycloud has had a busy year. It was among the 11 UK FinTechs that joined the special government trade mission with Australia. The goal of the mission was to build connections with businesses and government in the country.
