Arbutex is a fintech company building foreign exchange infrastructure for mid-market corporates and financial institutions across North America. Were modernizing how organizations manage foreign exchange risk. Our flagship product is ABX, a unified treasury and FX intelligence platform that helps organizations manage currency risk, automate FX workflows, and operate with greater transparency, control, and confidence. Today, most finance teams manage FX across bank portals, broker statements, ERPs, and spreadsheets. ABX replaces that fragmentation with one platform built on four pillars: ▪ Clarity — Centralize and visualize treasury and FX data: portfolio, exposures, maturities, and reporting in one view. ▪ Intelligence — Live spot, forward, and options pricing, hedge intelligence, scenario analysis, and FX analytics that turn data into decisions. ▪ Workflow — AI-powered trade confirmation extraction, trade capture, hedge lifecycle management, and alerts that eliminate manual re-entry. ▪ Governance — Hedge policy management, compliance monitoring, permissions, and a full audit trail. Companies work with us for four reasons: better reporting and visibility into their FX activity, lower FX costs through pricing transparency, less manual work through automation, and better hedging decisions through analytics and risk tools. We also offer FX advisory and managed FX services — including a no-obligation analysis of your last 12 months of FX trades that shows exactly what you paid versus what you should have paid.
