We pay, on your behalf

Not just a transfer. Fund it once and we collect, convert, and pay whoever you need paid - supplier, partner, or contractor - anywhere in the world. You don’t chase the recipient. We settle it for you.

Licensed and accountable

Every transaction runs through a Canadian MSB registered with FINTRAC, with a documented trail. Not a middleman you can’t trace.

Transparent rates, no buried spread

You see the rate and our fee before you commit. No hidden spread, no surprise deductions at settlement.

Not an app. Not a middleman who goes quiet. A real party on record, reachable at every step.

What’s an FX Concierge of Record?

Your accountable party for cross‑border currency.

Every cross-border transaction needs someone on record - for the rate, the transfer, and the trail it leaves. Barrel is that party. We source the currency, settle the payment, and stand accountable for it, end to end.

One transparent, all-in rate, confirmed before you commit. No markup slipped in afterward. What we quote is what you pay.

Yes. Barrel operates through a Canadian money services business registered with FINTRAC, Canada’s financial-crimes regulator. Every transaction runs through that regulated entity with a full paper trail, not an individual’s account.

Barrel is the named party on record for your transaction. There’s a paper trail from quote to settlement, and a real person you can reach at every step.

You tell us what you need and fund the transaction. We source the currency and settle it to the destination, then send you proof it’s done.

Move between the world’s major currencies - USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, CNY, and more, through licensed partners and established corridors. Compliance is built in before a single dollar moves.

Built for global trade

One infrastructure. Both directions.

Pay overseas suppliers, receive international customer payments, and manage the currencies your business depends on. Whether you are sourcing goods abroad or selling into new markets, Barrel helps you move and settle money across borders.

The Shift

Cross-border payments are broken for growing businesses.

Fees stack up, settlement drags on, and the market keeps growing anyway. The infrastructure hasn’t caught up, that’s the shift Barrel is built for.

8%

lost on the average cross-border transaction, more than double the global benchmark

$300B+

in projected cross-border B2B volume by 2033, a market moving without the right infrastructure

Barrel exists to fix that.
