CAPITALFX Specialist FX Solutions Foreign Exchange is not just for spending on holiday...
With all this turmoil in the domestic and corporate banking sector there needed to be some stability on the rates offered and the level of service provided.
At the Capital International Group we have been providing FX and cash management solutions for over 15 years across the island and around the globe.
Nonetheless, at the Capital International Group our doors have remained firmly open. We have continued to offer extremely competitive rates over and above what some of the High Street establishments offer.
We are truly independent, based on the Isle of Man, not tied to external service providers or off-island partnerships. We therefore have the lion’s share of markets and currencies to choose from.
Returns are not the only thing that has concerned investors, with the other main focus being security of assets. We have maintained our AAAf/S1+ rating with Standard & Poor’s for the last eight years, through the Capital Liquidity Account. This cash-only investment solution offers a greater sense of security with lower volatility in these ever changing market conditions providing a sense of reliability and consistency.
Back in December 2012 we highlighted the effects of the doors closing on banks and building societies for new monies and foreign currency, offering alternatives to this narrowing market. Having seen a handful of Banks withdraw from the Isle of Man in 2012, we then saw the pattern continuing throughout 2013 and 2014 with others withdrawing their product ranges, deposit and current accounts. This left the Island with very few choices other than keeping your money with low or unrated banks…
Competitive | Dedicated | Trusted We all want our money to earn interest when we’re not using it, but we all have different needs. Work with us to ensure that you don’t fall foul of these withdrawals from the marketplace...
