Universal Partners FX Ltd, a leading cross-border payments and FX specialist, reported another year of strong financial growth in 2023. The company, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), maintained momentum despite global economic challenges.
Revenue and Turnover Growth
In 2023, revenue rose by 55% to £10.09 million, up from £6.5 million in 2022. Turnover increased by 14%, reaching £1.5 billion.
