About Us
UK businesses and individuals lose billions annually on foreign exchange. Not through market movements, but through the retail margins traditional banks add to every transaction.
Banks typically add 1.5-2.5% above the institutional rates they access themselves. For a business processing £500k in international payments, that's up to £12,500 in hidden costs each year.
Lamera Capital was established to provide an alternative. Founded by a team with over 125 years of combined experience in FX markets and payments infrastructure, we connect businesses and individuals directly to institutional pricing through our platform.
Operating from London's financial district, we deliver rates that high street banks simply cannot match. Our platform technology is provided by FCA-regulated partners, ensuring your funds are safeguarded and all transactions meet UK regulatory standards.
We serve UK businesses and individuals making international payments from £50k to £5m+ annually across all major currency pairs.
