Our take
Born in 2005 out of a desire to use technology to give customers a better deal, Equals' mission is to make money simple for everyone. Founded under the name "FairFX", Equals has been helping customers move and manage their money for years. The company consists of three brands, all working together to provide financial solutions for personal and business customers alike.
Having started as a foreign exchange platform, Equals is evolving into a broader money management platform, moving from originally international payments and travel money towards integrated money management solutions for consumers and businesses. The company covers a number of elements: travel, business expenses, personal finance, and payroll.
Equals has built great customer loyalty, strengthening its position in launching new products and helping it become a dominant force in the payments market. Looking to expand its financial services options for customers and secure its future, Equals agreed to an acquisition by embedded finance platform Railsr, which will be completed in the first half of 2025.
