Sole Trader International Payments & Foreign Exchange For Your Business
Whether you're a freelancer, consultant, contractor, online professional or independent business owner, Currency Hedger helps you manage international payments, overseas income and currency exposure with greater clarity and control.
OPEN A SOLE TRADER ACCOUNTYour business may be small. Your international payments don't have to be.
Working for yourself gives you freedom, but international income and expenses can introduce additional complexity. You may receive payments from overseas clients, pay international suppliers, employ contractors abroad or purchase services in another currency.
Currency Hedger gives sole traders access to specialist foreign exchange and international payment solutions designed to make those transactions easier to manage.
Instead of treating every currency conversion as a simple transaction, we help you understand the FX environment and consider the most appropriate way to manage your international requirements.
Manage overseas earnings and payments from one place
If your work takes you beyond your home market, your finances need to move with you.
Currency Hedger enables sole traders to manage international payments and foreign exchange requirements through a secure online environment.
Whether you are receiving money from an overseas client or making a payment to an international supplier, you can manage your currency requirements through a dedicated FX service.
International FX for the way you work
Currency Hedger can support sole traders operating across borders, whether international work is an occasional requirement or a core part of the business.
Freelancers & Consultants
Receive payments from overseas clients and convert foreign earnings into your operating currency while maintaining greater visibility over your FX costs.
Contractors & Specialists
Manage international income when working with companies or organisations based in different countries and currencies.

One account for your international payment needs
Your clients, suppliers and business partners may operate in different currencies. Your payment solution should be able to keep up.
Currency Hedger provides access to international payment capabilities across a broad range of currencies and destinations.
The current Currency Hedger offering supports payments in more than 130 currencies across up to 190 countries, subject to applicable availability, compliance and payment requirements.
More than a currency conversion
International payments can create currency exposure. Currency Hedger provides access to FX tools that can help you manage that exposure more strategically.
Spot Contracts
Convert currency for an immediate or near-term international payment when you are ready to execute.
Forward Contracts
Where appropriate, a forward contract can allow you to secure an exchange rate for a future payment, helping provide greater certainty around future currency costs.
Limit Orders
Set a target exchange rate and allow your payment requirement to be managed around a predefined market level, subject to applicable terms.
Stop Loss Orders
Risk-management orders can be used to establish predefined levels for currency transactions, subject to the relevant product terms and conditions.
Keep more visibility over the money your business earns
For a sole trader, every margin matters. Exchange rate movements and international payment costs can have a direct impact on the amount you ultimately retain from your work.
If you invoice an overseas customer in euros, dollars or another currency, the value of that income can change before it reaches your operating currency.
Currency Hedger helps you understand those currency movements and provides access to tools designed to help you manage international payment requirements more effectively.
The objective is simple: greater visibility, greater control and fewer surprises when managing money across borders.
Your international payment journey
Opening an account is the first step. Once your account is established, Currency Hedger can support you through the payment and FX process.
Open Your Account
Register with Currency Hedger and complete the required onboarding and verification process.
Tell Us What You Need
Let us know who you need to pay, which currency you require and the amount involved.
Exchange & Send
Once your transaction is arranged, your currency is exchanged and the international payment is delivered according to the agreed instructions.
Your income is your business. Protecting its value matters.
Exchange rates can move significantly between the moment you agree a price with a client and the moment you receive or convert the payment. For sole traders with international exposure, understanding this risk is an important part of financial planning.
Identify Your Exposure
Understand which currencies your business receives, holds and pays, and when those transactions are expected to occur.
Monitor The Market
Follow relevant currency movements, economic data, central-bank decisions and market conditions that could affect your payments.
Consider Your Options
Depending on your circumstances, consider whether spot, forward or order-based FX solutions could support your currency-management objectives.
Take control of your international payments.
Whether you're a freelancer, consultant, contractor or independent business owner, Currency Hedger can help you manage international payments and currency requirements with greater clarity and confidence.
