Founded 2021
Founded in 2021 to challenge the poor service and hidden fees of traditional banking, BLK.FX brings high-end financial support back into international money management.
Our story
BLK.FX was built to fix what we saw broken in the industry, poor service from banks, and soulless tech from fintechs. We wanted to give clients something better: global capability, personal support, and pricing that made sense.
About the founder
Ben Kohler, Founder & CEO
Why I started BLK.FX. After 10+ years in FX and finance, I kept seeing the same problem: high fees, unclear exchange rates, and support that disappears when it matters most. BLK.FX was created to make international payments clearer, faster and easier for everyone, from first-time senders to experienced finance teams.
The Mission. To combine the best financial technology with direct access when something is time-sensitive, so clients can hold, receive, convert and send money globally, simply.
A 24/7 direct line when something is time-sensitive
Practical guidance to reduce “currency surprises”
A setup designed to remove friction from global payments
A service that stays human, even when the numbers are big
Behind Ben is a dedicated customer service team available 24/7, including weekends, by phone, email and WhatsApp.

How we work
Service
Every client, every day. Reach our customer service team by phone, email or WhatsApp whenever a payment or decision needs attention.
Structures
From SPVs, trusts and funds to public companies, venture capital firms and individuals, we support every type of client and entity.
Judgement
A view on the currencies you are exposed to, and a conversation about when to convert. That conversation costs nothing.
Regulation
Execution through regulated partners across the UK, the EEA and the US, with the compliance work done properly rather than quickly.
We only earn a margin, also called the spread, when you convert currency. Everything else, from opening accounts and sending payments to strategy and 24/7 support, costs you nothing.
How it works
01
Thirty minutes with our team on what you buy, what you sell and when. You leave with a view on your exposure whether you go ahead or not. Try before you wire.
02
Multi-currency accounts in your own name, via fast, secure online onboarding, with the compliance work handled properly rather than quickly.
03
Convert, send and hedge with a named specialist and 24/7 dedicated customer service by phone, email and WhatsApp.
