Foreign Exchange
Maximise impact. Minimise loss.
Every currency conversion counts - especially when lives depend on it.
Converting donations into emerging and frontier market currencies is often slow, expensive and opaque. Traditional banks typically offer limited access and unfavourable rates - reducing the real
value that reaches the ground. For NGO’s, that means tighter budgets, greater uncertainty, and less impact where it matters most.
Bondford helps you get more value to the people who need it most.
With access to 130+ currencies - including many not available through traditional institutions - we convert donations at competitive rates with fast, secure settlement. Our platform provides streamed
FX Spot quotations in EM currencies, so you get real-time visibility and control without relying on manual quote requests. Every element of our service is built to protect the value of your funds and provide certainty on how much is received on the ground.
Currency Risk Management
Confidence through clarity
Knowing your budget in local currency means knowing how much to raise - and when.
When you’re funding critical aid projects, cost certainty matters. Donations may come in multiple currencies, but projects are priced in local ones.
If exchange rates move against you, your budget can fall short - jeopardising delivery or forcing you to raise additional funds under pressure.
We help you lock in the value of your funds—so nothing gets lost in translation.
Bondford works with NGO’s to build risk management strategies tailored to your donation flows, local currency needs, and project timelines.
We help you forecast with confidence and protect your purchasing power - ensuring the funds you raise deliver the impact you promised.
Alternative Banking
Banking without borders
Move funds faster, with fewer fees, and no unnecessary roadblocks.
Traditional banking channels often slow NGO’s down. Cross-border payments can take five or more days to settle, correspondent banking fees eat into the
value delivered and restrictions on destination countries create frustrating delays - right when projects need to move fast, not slow.
One platform to collect globally and deliver locally - without compromise.
Bondford simplifies NGO’s financial operations by enabling you to collect donations in multiple currencies and send funds across borders - quickly, securely
and with full value settlement. With access to hard-to-reach currencies and no unnecessary intermediaries, our platform helps ensure funds arrive in full, on-time, and ready to be put to work.
Testimonials
What our clients say
“As a UK charity receiving Government grants in various currencies to support aid in Ukraine, we faced immense challenges finding a bank capable of remitting funds to the region. While Bondford couldn’t directly assist us, they were refreshingly upfront, immediately connecting us with a partner that could. Their integrity and swift support saved us from unnecessary delays.”
