Feel good trading
At Halo Financial, we pride ourselves on forging long-term client relationships, helping businesses save time and money on their foreign exchange payments, and grow profitably. We’re people offering real solutions with a firm belief that relationships are the strongest currency.
Foreign exchange solutions for all businesses
Halo Financial is committed to helping businesses and the people behind them. So, we extend our foreign exchange services to large and small companies, providing the same close working relationships to all our clients and partners.
We keep our clients informed of currency market changes by providing you with the latest foreign exchange market news and daily currency insights via email and our website. Keeping our clients in the know allows you to make informed decisions based on your specific currency requirements, allowing you to process your own online currency trades where necessary. You can also discover how to manage your currency risk and maximise your return.
Through detailed analysis and bespoke consultancy solutions, Halo Financial will help your business take advantage of currency volatility and budget effectively, so you can plan for any downturns and make the most of any positive exchange rate movements.
Halo’s vision and values
Since Halo formed in 2004, the Foreign Exchange market has become overcrowded, highly automated, and increasingly impersonal, driven by companies seeking profit-led efficiencies and an over-reliance on technology.
At Halo, we recognise the benefits of technology; however, we know how powerful, strong client relationships are, so we make them the centre of everything we do.
We provide industry-leading levels of customer service, ensuring our clients get maximum benefit and satisfaction from our currency services, products, and solutions. Every client is allocated their own personal currency specialist to assess and meet their individual currency requirements.
In addition to our client relationships, we also value all who work within our business. We look to recruit, develop and retain the very best people as they contribute as much to our business success as our very best strategic planning. We don’t give people jobs; we give them careers, allowing them to prosper and provide our clients with the best service possible.
Removing the stress from currency transfers
Halo understands that running a business is challenging as is, without overseas payments complicating the process. That’s why we aim to simplify currency trades and help you focus on the things that matter. Continued client research and feedback highlight that people and businesses place their trust in us: so, our job is to act in their best interests. Our clients tell us that, whatever their requirements, they value our approach of genuine collaboration to get the best results. Businesses trust us to deliver on our promises consistently, and we aim to live up to that trust dependably.
People are important to us
Our clients, our partners and our team members are never just a number. Each is a person with whom we work hard to build strong and fruitful relationships. Because of this, we have one of the highest rates of repeat business in the industry and long term, successful relationships with valued partners.
Halo humans
