OUR PURPOSE

We’re empowering businesses to take true control of their FX risk

Ending hidden costs and confusion, and building a more transparent, modern financial future where better outcomes are the norm, not the exception.

The Tenora story

After decades immersed in global financial markets, Harry, Tom and Nick had grown increasingly frustrated by the complexity and hidden costs of managing FX risk and overseas payments. Time and again, they saw companies let down by opaque service models, outdated systems, and a lack of accountability. 

United by a belief that businesses deserve better, they came together to found Tenora — to transform foreign exchange through transparency, intelligent technology, and exceptional service. At Tenora, we’re reimagining what it means to manage currency risk, with integrity at the core of everything we do.
