Trading Update

Alpha FX Group plc (AIM: AFX), a FX risk management and payments specialist servicing corporates and institutions internationally, today announces a trading update for the year ending 31 December 2020.

In our interim results announcement on 2 September, we reported that we experienced a strong performance in July and August.  Following on from this, trading in September has also been particularly strong and encouragingly this was across all areas of the business. Growth has come from both our FX risk management and alternative banking divisions, as they continued their penetration across the UK, Europe and Canada.

As a result, despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the Board is increasing its expectations for full year earnings, and taking into account provision for bad debts is confident that earnings will be at least in line with FY 2019.

Morgan Tillbrook, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Alpha said:

"Despite the fact that 2020 has created a number of challenges for the business, I am extremely proud of how the team has responded.  Our performance to date is testament to the quality of our people, clients and the investors who support us, and I would like to thank everyone who continues to play a part in Alpha FX's journey.  Whilst much uncertainty remains in the wider world, I am looking forward to the rest of the year and beyond with optimism."
