About us
Co-founders Harry and Josh created Future Forex with the goal of transforming the South African forex industry through innovation, automation and full transparency.
As a first step on this journey, we became the market-leader in one of the best performing investment products in South Africa, Crypto Arbitrage, which to date yields returns leagues ahead of traditional investments.
In so doing, we acquired our FSP license (FSP 51884), processed billions of Rands worth of forex deals, and forged excellent relationships with partner banks. This has allowed us to hone our forex processing systems, build up a superb team, and negotiate market-leading rates with partner banks.
After thousands of hours of continued development, research, experimentation, and meetings with compliance and legal experts, we are proud to offer a streamlined service that is outstanding, cost-effective and, consequently, has left thousands of clients smiling.
Our commitment to you…
...is to provide the most outstanding forex service you will ever experience, through excellent support, automated processes, and exceptional pricing.
