Global experience. Built for Africa.

Makosch Africa brings an established independent approach to foreign exchange for businesses operating across Africa.

It started with a different view of FX.

2014Founded in the UK

Makosch's origins lie in foreign exchange and film finance.

Working with creative businesses exposed a recurring problem: companies operating internationally could lose meaningful value through opaque currency pricing and international payment costs, while traditional banking relationships didn't always provide the specialist support they needed.

Makosch was founded in the UK in 2014 to approach the problem differently.

Rather than becoming another FX provider, Makosch developed an independent consultancy model — analysing the market objectively and helping clients identify the providers and strategies best suited to their requirements.

That principle remains at the heart of Makosch today.

Independent by designWe’re not a bank or an FX broker, and why that matters.

Global capability. African perspective.

African businesses are increasingly international — raising capital overseas, exporting into global markets, importing equipment and services, receiving international revenues and expanding across borders.

Makosch Africa was established to bring the Makosch model closer to those businesses.

From South Africa, we're building relationships across the continent while drawing on the experience, infrastructure and international provider network developed by the wider Makosch business.

The objective is simple: combine local understanding with global FX capability, while retaining the independence that defines the Makosch approach.
