MONEY IN MOTION

A named human owns your payment.

Delayed, amended, recalled, or short paid: the desk answers the same business day, with the reference in hand. Finance teams see the same feed the desk sees, with an MT103 or rail reference against every settled row.

03 · FOREIGN EXCHANGE

The margin is agreed before you instruct, and it does not move.

Every pair across your five markets is priced at a pre agreed FX margin, booked with a deal reference your auditor can trace to the payout. No re quoting when the market gets busy.

WHY $1M+

We only take businesses moving $1M+ a year.

Fewer clients, more attention. Every account gets a named specialist and a desk that answers on the same business day, with the reference in hand.

Why the threshold exists →
IMPImporters paying suppliersRecurring supplier payments where proof, references, and corridor handling matter operationally.
EXPExporters receiving fundsCustomer and trade receipts that need clearer payer context and reconciliation support.
FXFinance teams managing FXPayables and receivables where FX exposure should be reviewable before the payment is released.
OPSOperators needing a deskWhen delayed, amended, recalled, or short paid payments need ownership, not only an app status.
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
N.M. Thakur, Chief Executive Officer of Unicorn Currencies
N.M. ThakurCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERLinkedIn ↗
Businesses do not leave their bank over features. They leave the day a six figure payment is held, a supplier is not credited, and nobody takes ownership. I built Unicorn Currencies for that day. When your money is in motion, someone here is answerable for it, by name.
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR A CLIENT
CLIENT DETAILS WITHHELD ON REQUEST
"Our supplier payments used to vanish for days and arrive short. Now Frankfurt sees a domestic credit and our margin is the same number we agreed in October 2022."

Stop paying international prices for international payments.

Send the desk your corridor, amount, and payment frequency. You get the FX margin, the rail, the settlement window, and the evidence you will receive, in writing, for the committee to review.
