Introducing GreenShootsFX
Mark Ridley DipFSM, CertICM
FX Payments expert helping North American financial institutions & businesses increase profits and reduce expenses.
After many months of brainstorming, building, negotiation, education, more negotiation, much sweat, and even the occasional tear or two, I’m proud to introduce…
GreenShootsFX!
Now, why would we do this with so many FX payment companies out there already?
Because we saw a gap in the market.
That gap is service. Actual service. From people you can trust.
See, we have a LOT of experience in the industry.
This includes experience of what’s, well, not so good about institutions like the larger, major, banks:
- Their treatment of clients.
- Their wide margins.
- Their substandard products and services.
And how they may at times force smaller companies to move all of their business from a community bank (that the business prefers) to a larger institution just so they can facilitate the few international payments that the business needs.
OK, we know there are exceptions out there but I mean, who really wants a 1-800-NOT-SO-GOOD customer service telephone number??
We firmly believe in communities, community spirit, community banks & credit unions, and we want institutions and businesses to not only continue to exist but also to thrive and grow in their local economies.
THIS is why GreenShootsFX was born.
Keep your business with the local community bank or credit union you love, but allow us to help you with your global payment needs.
And we look forward to partnering with community banks and credit unions so that we can help them keep the relationships they have and add additional fee income, while giving their clients excellent FX rates and a level of service they can be proud of.
So, the bottom line is...
Businesses - you no longer have to accept wide FX margins and mistreatment, or be turned away because your volumes don't meet with shareholders demands.
Bank & credit unions - you no longer have to lose business to the larger global players operating on the same street as you.
Together we're stronger.
