About Arrow FX

Built on 15 Years of Precision

I founded Arrow FX after more than 15 years navigating the complex world of international payments and foreign exchange — a career built on one core belief: moving money across borders shouldn't mean sacrificing speed, security, or peace of mind.

From the Trading Floor to Founding Arrow FX

My path into international payments began over a decade ago, working directly with corporate clients to navigate currency risk in fast-moving global markets. Over the years, I rose through senior roles — including Director and Executive Director at Monex USA — where I managed portfolios of more than 150 corporate clients, advising them on everything from spot payments and forward contracts to long-term FX risk strategy.

Along the way, I became deeply versed in the regulatory backbone of the industry, working closely with compliance teams to uphold strict FINCEN and AML standards — ensuring every transaction met the highest bar for security and accountability.

Over the course of my career, I've personally overseen more than $750 million in international transfers, helping businesses of every size move money confidently across the globe.

Why Arrow FX

After 15 years helping other companies manage international payments, I founded Arrow FX to bring that same level of precision, trust, and personal attention directly to businesses navigating global markets — without the size and rigidity of a large institution standing in the way.

Arrow FX combines institutional-grade FX expertise with the responsiveness of a dedicated partner. When you work with me, you're not a ticket number — you're working directly with someone who has spent a career solving exactly the problem you're facing.
