SLS Media Ltd is a media broadcasting company owned by former British number one tennis player, Samantha Smith. SLS Media provides commentary and analysis for the men’s and women’s professional tennis tours and other major international events such as the Australian and US Opens, and Wimbledon. The company also offers broadcasters with training in a range of additional skills, including interviewing, in-vision work and moderating conferences.

Yet their international success also created a challenge - receiving foreign currency revenue in Australian Dollars (AUD) and US Dollars (USD) and converting them into British Pounds (GBP) using their regular international banking providers.

Their usual banking providers proved to be slow and difficult to navigate, with inferior exchange rates, limited visibility over payments and hidden fees. Whenever they received funds from the US or Australia, they were automatically converted at the exchange rate at the time, with added hidden fees from the bank.

"Most importantly, great customer support over the telephone gave me confidence, security, and guidance when executing a transaction for the first time"

SLS Media was in search of a solution that would provide better control over their payments and help them save on foreign exchange fees. They found their answer in Money Mover, a fintech company that specialises in helping businesses manage their international cashflows making international payments and currency exchange fast, secure, and affordable.

With Money Mover, SLS Media now receives funds in AUD and USD directly into their multi-currency account, using their own IBAN and SWIFT code. They can hold balances in their currency wallets and use rate alert notifications to convert the currency back to GBP at a rate that works for them, giving them more control over their funds.

The benefits of using Money Mover have been significant for SLS Media. They save around 70 percent on exchange rate fees alone and estimate that they could gain an extra 5 to 10 percent by optimising the rates at which they convert their funds.

Samantha Smith, owner of SLS Media, says, "Money Mover provides a logical and easy-to-use layout on the platform. It gives me all those niche facilities which are unavailable at a regular bank. This helps me to move quickly and is a far better use of my time. Most importantly, great customer support over the telephone gave me confidence, security, and guidance when executing a transaction for the first time."
