For example, a business exchanging £5,000 into Euros each week could typically experience savings of more than 2% - a £100 saving per transaction. This activity level would offer customers around £5,000 a year saving over traditional currency exchange methods.

Midpoint's patented technology was the first to 'match' foreign exchange requirements for individuals and companies in Euros, US Dollars and Sterling - e.g. Midpoint matches an order to buy British pounds with Euros, to an order that buys Euros with British pounds. By directly matching businesses and individuals with opposite currency needs, Midpoint is able to eliminate the 'spread' or 'margin' component from all transactions. This is the mechanism by which current providers generate hundreds of millions in profits each year in the global foreign exchange markets.

With Midpoint, at the time of the match both parties receive the same exchange rate - the mid point - the real time Interbank buy and sell rate. This ensures Midpoint's rates are the best available and as a result, customers save money on each and every currency exchange, paying only a clear and transparent fee to use the service.

Mike Hampson, Managing Director of Midpoint says, "The rates set by banks and brokers often obscure the underlying charges, favouring large corporates who conduct large transactions. This scenario discriminates against smaller and infrequent users. With Midpoint, everyone receives the same, fair, industry leading exchange rate. We anticipate the most frequent currency amounts exchanged with Midpoint will be between £1,000 and £30,000. All users - including small businesses, importers, overseas students and foreign holiday home owners - can benefit from Midpoint's service."

Midpoint customers do not need to pre-fund their account. Money is securely transferred when the match is confirmed - guaranteed within 24 hours. This can benefit organisations sensitive to short term cash flow, whilst keen to secure the very best currency exchange rate for their business.

The team behind Midpoint brings a wealth of complementary skills to the business: Mike Hampson, Midpoint's Managing Director has substantial experience in international finance and banking. Brad Lemkus, Midpoint Operational Director, enjoyed success as an entrepreneur.
