Sharing his thought Anand Tandon, Founder, Myforexeye Fintech, said, “We established Myforexeye with the prime mission of simplifying Forex for SMBs, MSMEs, B2B and B2C businesses. We have put our energy and experience in building this unique concept and have been getting exciting response from the industry. We see a lot of potential for growth in this sector and hence we decided to take on the investment to support our expansion plans.” Tandon – an ex-banker and an internet enthusiast.

“We are confident that the investment from likeminded investors will support us in creating new technology avenues and marketing platforms to reach out to our clients in an efficient manner. Myforexeye aspires to be the leading one-stop shop foreign exchange solution provider across the globe. The company’s strength lies in its unconventional approach towards problem solving so as to offer unmatched efficiency and effectiveness,” he added.

Speaking on the investment, Rahul Dev Kumar, Singapore-based Senior Transaction Banking and Working Capital professional said, “The industry potential for this unique concept is huge as a better profit margin of businesses dealing with international trade, SMEs, MSMEs and individuals is always at risk due to information arbitrage from intermediaries.
