Millenium Star Capital has been utilising St Pauls Forex services since 2014 as we believe this provided another layer of value to our client offering. Business is done quickly, easily and efficiently , queries are few and far between and questions are answered timeously. Staff are always accessible. The rates are also better than when we were receiving through other channels. What more can you ask for? We fully endorse their service offering.
Lisa Rodel
Millenium Star Capital
Vutomi has been a regular forex trader for a number of years, and were always puzzled by the variation between screen rates and those at which we were transacting. St Pauls Forex approached us with a transparent pricing model which highlighted the margins taken by the big banks; this was jarring. Since then we have moved our forex business to St Paul Forex and , added to the cost benefits, their arrangements in respect of transacting and compliance are integrated which results in a seamless and effective banking service.

Director, Vutoni Mining (Pty) Ltd
