Security
Stringent Regulations
Security and compliance are of paramount importance to Currency Hedger. We adhere to strict, stringent regulations and have robust internal controls in place to look after your funds and minimise any risks to the business or your money.
All transactions are initiated using a secure payment system which ensures each payment is approved internally by multiple users and processed by our top Tier banking partners. We do not speculate on the currency markets or invest your money overnight.
Payment Services Regulations
When you enter a transaction with us, we enter a matching, binding trade with our bank. To comply with the UK Payment Services Regulations (PSRs), relevant funds will be held in segregated client ‘safeguarding’ accounts using our global Top Tier banking partners.
Therefore, all relevant funds will be held separately from any company funds. If you want to find further information on our safeguarding obligations under the PSRs, please see the FCA’s Approach Document which is available below.
