Foreign Exchange costs too

much


Global remittance flows about $400-$500B a year


Global Import/export $30T/year 50 times larger <put in 1% savings of 30T here>


What’s the problem?

Controlled by banks who run in fear of regulators

Old infrastructure that doesn't’t keep up with increasing flows

Regulatory overhead + old technology = high prices and bad services

Consumers and small business pay the price


What’s the way out

Dramatically reduce cost

Take out friction

Increase transparency

“We make 1% of the value of each transaction, but if we get one transaction wrong it could cost us over $100m in lawyer fees and $1-2bn of lost

business. For ten bucks, who’s going to risk that?

Big banks have a role to play but it’s not bringing the people from a remote village into mainstream banking – that’s a job for another

type of institution. Regulation is against us, the market is against us, reality is against us.”

(Financial Services Club Blog, June 2010)
