Ethical Commitment

We believe a tiny tweak to global foreign exchange markets, where roughly $4.2 trillion is traded every day, would save millions of needless deaths from HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in the developing world.

That tweak amounts to a levy of 0.01% on each foreign exchange transaction. That is not a price that we ask you, our client, to pay. All you see is the saving and we pay the tiny tax from our already small profits.

0.01% is a small price to pay to repair lives, families, communities and countries.

Imagine if 0.01% was deducted from every forex trade in the world. It would raise £80bn a year if applied globally. 0.01% is a price we alone in the global foreign exchange sector are prepared to meet from our profit. Our philosophy stems from this commitment to make the world a better and more sustainable place.

But that is not enough. We believe financial flows have the power, when put to good use, to be an engine for progress, peace and stability. It is why we want every institution that provides FX services to follow us.

We believe our model can show the way towards a transformation of the way that the financial services sector operates.
