The difference between equivalent suppliers comes down to the philosophy of the firm and the strength of its people. On the daily journal, numbers camouflage interactions. Our services allow the reduction of uncertainty. Our reputation provides assurance. Ultimately, our foreign exchange services help lower anxiety.

Think of us as a connection to a broader network or an ecosystem of opportunity. Above that, there is a compelling strategic reason to consider Mercantile Exchange Corporation:  the growth currencies of your business are relationships.

Mercantile Exchange Corporation

Somewhere between the impermanence of the start-ups and the bureaucracy of the banks is the better provider of foreign exchange services.

Sure, price-discounters may entice you with a few cheap trades, but where else are they cutting corners? Compliance and data security are valid issues. How long into the honeymoon are “introductory” prices going to last? How much padding, eventually, will end up in your spread? Ask yourself – if someone thinks of you as a commodity – then, when next will they have their hand out?

And when was the last time you heard someone speak highly of a bank or near-bank influencing acceptance of a bundle of services? How many department heads, section leaders and division chiefs would you need to go through, in order to correct a mistake? As for relationship building – branch managers can change locations with alarming frequency – rotating through jobs for career development. Ask yourself when a mega-profit bank next will have its hand in your pocket.

Here’s the spectrum of choice: hand out; hand-in-your-pocket; spare hand and hand up.
