Buying and selling across the border? Protect your margin both ways.
For farmers, dealers, feed suppliers and food producers buying livestock at marts in the Republic, or selling into the EU. Pay marts quickly at a better rate than your bank, and get more sterling for the euros you’re paid.
€600,000 of livestock bought at Republic marts each year
Illustrative example, based on a typical bank exchange rate margin of 2.5%. Actual savings depend on your bank, amounts and market conditions.
The currency problems we fix for agri-food businesses
Paying the mart on time
Marts in the Republic expect payment within days of the sale, and bank transfers can be slow and costly.
Your cost per head keeps moving
The price is agreed in euros, so what you actually pay in sterling depends on the rate on the day.
Paid by EU processors in euros
Milk, meat and grain cheques converted at whatever rate your bank gives on the day.
