The exit fee was impressive, but when you consider Worldpay was only founded in 1997, that's even more impressive. How many zero's in a BILLION again? We may not have the same financial exit outcome as Worldpay, however, we must follow the same path. We must make our business relevant to our marketplace. We may not be unique, but we certainly need to be DIFFERENT. What's your differentiator? Where the business is today has financial value; where it can be tomorrow has emotional value. Both are critical. To exit a business and maximise the return for your many years of hard work, you need to park your ego, get rid of the "we've always done it that way," and PREPARE your business for sale. The sad reality is that most business owners spend more time planning their holidays than they do planning their business exit. That's a bit like selling your business for a Ryanair seat rather than a Qatar Airways Cabin. One has a lot more baggage than the other too... 80% of businesses listed NEVER sell. There's a reason for that.

The Story Behind Financial Integrator! It’s the third edition of Financial Integrator, and the journey has only just begun. My question for the magazine was relatively simple – what impact can a new magazine like this have on the vast spectrum of the financial world? Our primary region of exploration is the Middle East, with countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other important and prominent nations playing the role of news providers for the publication. The publication does not wish to keep people sweet, nor does it aim to become merely a source of happiness. The impact we seek is to play a serious role in the financial space of the region. The articles we aspire to publish will likely become those vintage recordings that shed more light on the financial world. We all understand the reality of financial publications; they probably can’t or won’t be like romantic fictions that are regularly read by thousands. However, I am sure there are some fantastic financial visionaries I have encountered on my journey who can write unbeatable content for us. The cover story is the most exciting of all. We interviewed Andrew McCormack, COO of Al Etihad Payments, established by the Central Bank of the UAE in 2023. We explored Aani, Jaywan, the perception of the banking community toward these developments, SMEs, and our forward leap toward a cashless society. As Andrew rightly puts it, “Less Cash” is what the ecosystem is striving for! This issue gives you both a backward and forward glance at the journeys of these financial institutions and the economic diversity of this region. As an editor, diving into the content of these articles and presenting it in a simple, comprehensible way is sometimes a dedicated task, but Kudos to my team, they have been working tirelessly to bring these pieces to you!

We’ve launched an FX affiliate referral programme with over 60 local banks across Japan. 🎊 With many local Japanese banks reducing or withdrawing their in-house retail FX services, the referral partnership programme sees these banks refer those customers who require travel money directly to Travelex. These referred customers are then able to receive a discount on their travel money purchases simply by showing their bankcard. The model has served to benefit the banks, their customers and Travelex: for the banks, the partnership means they are still able to assist their customers with travel money needs, even when not providing FX services directly; for customers, they are now able to access discounted travel money services nationwide; and for Travelex, the partnerships have helped further expand our distribution network and customer base, and enabled us to help customers who would have otherwise struggled to access retail FX services.
