📍 London & Dubai (serving Thailand)
International money transfers and currency exchange for expats and businesses moving funds between Thailand and home, at competitive dealer-negotiated rates with a dedicated account manager rather than an app.
Orbis Exchange Group is a currency specialist that helps people and businesses move money internationally at competitive, dealer-negotiated rates, an alternative to paying the high-street bank's exchange margin and wire fees. The group has handled more than £15 billion in transfers across 50+ currencies to 180+ destinations, with offices in London, Dubai and Los Angeles and a dedicated account manager rather than a faceless app.
Orbis covers the moves that matter most:
A named dealer talks you through timing and rate options, and for larger sums you can fix a rate in advance with a forward contract, so a swing in GBP/THB or USD/THB does not change what your baht-side payment ends up costing.
Orbis handles international supplier payments, cross-border payroll, receivables via local named accounts, and currency risk management, plus credit facilities from £5,000 to £60,000,000. Personal clients onboard through PayDirect and businesses through Equals Connect.
Either way, your transfers are executed through FCA-authorised payment institutions, including Currency Cloud, Ebury and Equals Connect, so your money is handled within the UK's regulated payments framework.

It depends on the job. For small, everyday transfers an app like Wise is often simplest. Orbis is built for larger or more complex moves, such as property purchases, pension and savings transfers, or business payments, where a dealer-negotiated rate, the ability to fix a rate in advance, and a human account manager can save meaningfully more than app convenience is worth.
