For more than three decades, our founders have safeguarded capital and moved it across borders. Sovereign Bank International continues that work: a multi-currency institution for individuals, corporations, and families whose affairs cross borders and generations.
Sovereign Bank International was built on a lineage that began in 1989, when our founder established one of Canada’s first independent corporate foreign exchange houses. Over the following decades that firm grew into a nationally recognised institution: the first FX operation in Canada to earn a Schedule I banking charter, chosen by Citibank as its sole FX partner following the Patriot Act, and selected by Canada’s financial intelligence unit as a model for the sector.
Regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission of Nevis, Sovereign Bank International carries its legacy forward.
Foreign exchange is the discipline our founders spent a career mastering, and it remains the core of what we do. Whether you are settling an invoice in Singapore, managing a corporate payables book across five currencies, or coordinating the affairs of a family spread across continents, Sovereign Bank International moves your money at competitive pricing.
Convert and settle in more than 30 currencies at competitive rates and tight spreads, retaining value in every cross-border transaction.
For companies operating across borders, we manage the mechanics of moving money so your team can manage the business. Standing instructions, scheduled accounts-payable runs, multi-currency liquidity, and recurring settlement, executed on your schedule.
For high-net-worth families and their advisers, we administer the recurring financial life of an estate: remittance schedules, standing payment instructions, and coordinated multi-currency distributions across generations and jurisdictions.
A savings account for those whose first concern is the capital itself. Interest is paid at a variable rate. Presently offered in US dollars, from $100,000.
Hold and receive across 30 currencies — USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, AUD, SGD, JPY — and settle payments in more. One account structure, held across the currencies your affairs are conducted in.
Day-to-day banking for money that moves across borders, in the currencies and jurisdictions your dealings require.
Our clients are known to us, and served accordingly.
Foreign exchange and cross-border treasury are not one service among many here; they are the discipline the institution was built upon. We work closely with each client to understand what they are managing and what they intend, and we structure their banking around it.
Sovereign Bank International is licensed and regulated as an international bank by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission of Nevis. We hold ourselves to international best practice in governance and financial integrity.
Sovereign Bank International is led by people who have built, regulated, and directed financial institutions across two continents. The bank is founded on that experience and governed to its standard.
We believe the best banking relationships begin with understanding: what you are working to protect, and what you hope to achieve. Our team is ready to discuss your objectives, in confidence and at your convenience.
