WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO?
WillU FX provides currency payment solutions to private individuals, SMEs and large global businesses. We specialize in working with high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, manufacturing industries and are also heavily involved the world of motorsport through our connections and our founders’ backgrounds in professional motorsport internationally.
The FX part of the business came about through demand from the investments side of the business really. A number of our clients were looking at moving funds either for business reasons or for personal investments such as buying or selling properties overseas. So, rather than us passing the business onto a third party, we decided it would make sense to open up the WillU FX business in its own right so we could service our customers directly and maintain that one-to-one relationship we have with them. Keeping it all in-house means we can ensure our very high standards of service are maintained.
In addition to these services, we provide a range of benefits to our private and corporate clients, and aim to drive business to them via our platform and through word of mouth networking. WillU World can provide rewards to the employees of our clients, with benefits and rewards on over 200 brands, mental health support, physical support via our free yoga, breathing workshops, running clubs and nutritionists.
HOW HAS THE BUSINESS EVOLVED SINCE?
WillU FX and the WillU Financial Group have doubled in size since last year. The business has actually grown through the pandemic as more people have become savvier with their money. When you’ve got Brexit and a global pandemic having their impact, especially on our clients still trading internationally, people want to work with companies they trust, so we’ve done well in that respect whilst retaining our customer first objective.
