In 1999, our founders recognized a critical gap in how businesses handled international payments - banks were charging exorbitant fees and providing minimal guidance on navigating foreign currency risks. They built Tempus to offer a smarter alternative, combining competitive exchange rates with personalized expert service. The company quickly gained traction, and in 2011, caught the attention of Monex, one of the world's largest commercial foreign exchange providers. What began as a strategic acquisition evolved into a powerful partnership that transformed Tempus into Monex USA in January 2022, uniting under one globally recognized brand.
Today, Monex USA stands as a leader in foreign exchange and global payments, leveraging over 40 years of combined financial expertise and the buying power of a $274 billion annual FX turnover parent company. Our team of 2,800+ currency experts serves more than 70,000 clients worldwide, from small businesses to multinational corporations. We've earned Bloomberg's top currency forecaster distinction multiple times, beating out 70+ global financial institutions. With headquarters in Washington DC and offices in New York and Beverly Hills, we continue to deliver on our founding mission: simplifying global payments while helping businesses protect their profits from currency volatility.
