Card-to-card payments convert “over 60 different currencies at a faster and cheaper rate than traditional banking systems,” the release said. “Ampere removes until-now inconvenient delays and complications associated with international payments.”
Founded in 2022 and based in London, Ampere provides business banking for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the United Kingdom and European Union, per the release.
“Our card-to-card payment offering and recent pan-European expansion empowers [SMBs] to seamlessly expand their own financial and operational growth through cross-border transactions,” Ampere Commercial Director Kris Krupecki said in the release. “At a time when [SMBs] are facing a raft of challenges, whether economic or operational, they can rely on Ampere for a tailored, integrated and efficient banking partner.”
