Our take
Currency hedging is a risk management strategy that helps protect businesses and investors from the impact of sudden exchange rate fluctuations. Yet, many SMEs have never utilised these services. ALT21 recognises this gap and seeks to bridge it by facilitating user-friendly, accessible currency hedging solutions.
The company's platform, X Hedge, is designed for financial institutions and other businesses with clients that have foreign exchange risk to manage. Through it, these organizations can sell hedging solutions in over 30 currencies under their own brand, all via a self-serve portal that is cloud-native, multi-tenanted, and supports single sign-on.
The company has raised significant funding and has focused on building out its team and product features. A 2023 rebrand from its original identity of "Assure Hedge" was designed to provide a "better reflection of its evolution and scale of operation" as it grows and moves alongside the ever-evolving industry.
