When you’re connecting investors to life-changing projects worldwide, every euro counts! For Lendahand, converting euros into dollars efficiently was a challenge, with fluctuating exchange rates adding complexity to their mission. That’s until they partnered with iBanFirst.

🧍♂️ Four out of five mannequins in Dutch shops come from Hans Boodt Mannequins B.V.. As a global leader in designing and manufacturing display mannequins, much of their production happens in China—requiring them to manage $15–20 million annually in USD purchases. But with the risk of a sharp rise in USD threatening their operating costs, they needed a partner as innovative as they are. That’s where iBanFirst stepped in. Together, we built a smart FX risk management strategy using deliverable forward contracts. The result? Greater predictability, favorable rates, and financial peace of mind. 💯 At iBanFirst, we help SMEs across Europe manage FX risks and simplify their international payments—so they can focus on what they do best. #SmallMultinationalsStories #FXRiskManagement #TrustBeyondBorders
