Simon had been in the international payments & FX industry his entire adult life, starting as a night dealer, moving through positions in the industry. In 2008 he started a technology company that took international payments online and was later acquired by HIFX (now owned by XE).

It was during this time that he noticed a shroud of mystery that covered the industry. A shroud that masked a rigidity - a ‘locked in’ nature that meant customers weren’t getting the results that suited them.

Simon started out as the sole employee of Cymonz. His first customer was a Foreign Exchange company. Cymonz was involved in optimising all aspects of their business from the technology build and regulatory licensing through to staff employment and sales plans.

Cymonz has a team of over 20. Having been heavily bootstrapped, the company is a leader and enabler of international payments platforms, delivering custom solutions to banks, money services businesses and remittance businesses around the world.

The platform can be quickly provisioned as a standalone service or deeply integrated into core systems to provide streamlined currency exchange and payments services.

This fast-growing fintech backed by an amazing team are on a journey to better serve the international payments industry, while at the same time providing the end customer with a personalised experience.

Ideas we value.

Better business through technology

True innovation is a trait that is recognised and rewarded by our peers rather than being self-endowed. By tenaciously grasping the white-hot leading edge of technology, our bold choices pay off when they become rewarding strategies for our customers.

Be bold

Unique brands don’t blend. The only way to stand out is to be truly outstanding in every aspect of our craft. That means being brave and making bold choices.

Own it

This software platform is ours. We built it from the ground up. Every time we instate a solution for our customers we make choices. These choices are ours and we must own them. With each subsequent success story, our reputation for being FinTech pioneers is further entrenched.

Flexibility through FX ability

Being agnostic means we give our clients freedom to choose. It also means we can respond faster and get better results in a shorter time. To be truly effective in the tech sector we must remain nimble and focused, so we always land the dismount.

Who

A delivery-focused business with passionate people creating success for our customers and their customers.

What

Streamline & automate international payments for customers of Banks, MSB’S & Remittance businesses through the use of innovative and secure technology.

Why

To lift the veil of mystery that has shrouded the international payments industry and bring change to the industry that helps our customers deliver better results faster, and to be recognised as true FinTech pioneers.
