How Olympio Works
Overview
Olympio connects businesses and individuals with regulated financial institutions that specialise in cross-border payments and foreign exchange services.
Rather than providing payment services directly, Olympio acts as an introducer, helping clients access our stablished and trusted banking and electronic money institution infrastructure designed for international payments.
All payment services are delivered by regulated providers with whom the client contracts directly.
Step 1 — Client Introduction
Clients may be introduced to Olympio through professional partners including corporate advisers, property brokers, accountants, wealth managers and international consultants.
Clients typically require support with international payments such as:
- Property purchases overseas
- Cross-border business payments
- International treasury transfers
- Capital transfers between jurisdictions
Step 2 — Introduction to Regulated Payment Providers
Once a client’s requirements are understood, Olympio introduces the client to an appropriate regulated provider.
These providers may include banks or Electronic Money Institutions that specialise in international payments and multi-currency services.
These institutions operate under applicable financial regulations and compliance frameworks.
Step 3 — Client Onboarding and Compliance
Clients complete onboarding directly with the regulated financial institution.
This typically includes:
- Identity verification
- Company documentation (for businesses)
- Source-of-funds checks
- Regulatory compliance checks
This process ensures all payment activity meets the regulatory requirements applicable to the provider.
Step 4 — Payments and Foreign Exchange Execution
Once the client is onboarded, all payments and foreign exchange transactions are executed directly through the regulated financial institution.
Clients may gain access to services such as:
- Multi-currency account
- International wire transfer
- Foreign exchange service
- Payment support across multiple jurisdictions
Olympio does not hold, transmit, or control client funds.
Step 5 — Ongoing Relationship Support
Olympio remains available to support communication between the client and the regulated provider where appropriate.
Our role is to ensure clients are connected with providers capable of supporting their international payment needs.
Client Protection and Regulatory Structure
Olympio operates strictly as an introducer and does not provide regulated payment services.
Clients onboard directly with regulated financial institutions who:
- Hold and safeguard client funds
- Execute all payment transactions
- Operate under applicable regulatory frameworks
This structure ensures that all payment services are delivered through established regulated institutions, and funds are safeguarded.
