Every time your business converts currency, your bank or broker takes a margin. It's built into the rate, rarely disclosed, and compounds with every transaction. Most businesses don't know how much it's costing them — until someone shows them.
Industries where FX costs are most significant
Foreign exchange is one of the most overlooked costs in business. Banks and brokers build margin into every rate they quote. There's no line item on the invoice, no disclosure, and rarely any pushback — because most businesses don't know what rate they should be getting.
Insight FX was built to fix that. Founded by Shane Marini — with over a decade inside TorFX, AxiCorp, and Firma — we sit on your side of the table. We benchmark your current rates, identify the gap, and use our provider relationships to close it. The result is a direct, measurable improvement to your bottom line.
We're not tied to any provider. We don't take margin on transactions. Our model is simple: if we can demonstrably improve your FX outcomes, we earn your ongoing business.
