Salary benchmarks
Our take
Managing the finances of a scaling company can be challenging, particularly when accounting for the trading of foreign currencies. Foreign exchange rates are often high and come with hidden fees, and their volatility can lead to serious financial risk if a rate is not locked in on time.
Bound provides a foreign exchange management platform, focussed on providing businesses with fair and transparent prices across 36 different fiat currencies. The platform also allows users to automatically split up trades at a locked-in exchange rate, helping them to reduce risk through the process of averaging.
The company is backed by leading venture capital firms, including Valar Ventures, Moonfire and Album VC. They are also targeting a massively underserved market with only 4% of UK SMEs protecting themselves from currency risk as it is generally considered confusing and complicated.
