The FX Provider's Guide to Smarter Prospecting
As an FX provider, your time is your most valuable asset. You're not just executing trades; you're protecting clients from global currency volatility.
But how much of your day is spent chasing down leads with no international exposure or who are already locked in with a bank? You know the right questions to ask, because they're the same ones that determine whether a client is a good fit or a waste of time.
We've listened. This page is dedicated to answering the critical sales and prospecting questions FX providers face every day.
We do this through our Magic Insights – a proprietary set of AI-powered data points designed specifically for the financial sector.
These insights go beyond generic information to give you actionable intelligence on a company's currency activity, international operations, financial health, and the key decision-makers who manage treasury.

🎯 Identifying and Qualifying Opportunities
❓ How do I find companies with significant foreign currency exposure?
✅ Use Zint’s "Summary Of Likely Currency Activity" and "4 Year Fx Gain/loss History" insights to instantly create a list of businesses whose financials are materially impacted by currency fluctuations, making them ideal prospects for FX services.
❓ Which businesses are likely to need currency hedging services?
✅ Target companies with a volatile "4 Year Fx Gain/loss History". A history of significant gains or losses indicates a high level of unhedged exposure and a clear need for the strategic risk management an FX partner can provide.
❓ How can I get a list of companies with major international operations?
✅ You can instantly identify businesses with a global footprint using Zint's "Operations Across Countries" and "Country-level Revenue Breakdown" insights, perfect for building a pipeline of high-value international clients.
❓ How do I identify a company's main trading currencies?
✅ Zint’s "Top Currencies" insight tells you which foreign currencies a company most frequently deals with, allowing you to tailor your pitch to their specific needs and demonstrate immediate value.
❓ Can I estimate a company's currency trading volumes?
✅ Yes. Zint provides "Predicted Currency Volumes", giving you a credible estimate of a company's FX activity so you can accurately gauge the size of the opportunity before making contact.
❓ What are the signs a company might need a new FX provider?
✅ Look for companies with significant "Overseas Projects, Events And Initiatives" or a high "Growth Potential Score". Major international expansion is a key trigger event that often causes businesses to seek out more sophisticated FX providers.

✅ Zint’s "Lending Or Credit Facilities" insight identifies if a business has credit lines. Companies with international operations and credit facilities often have associated FX requirements for managing those debts.

✅ Zint’s "Ai Credit Score" provides a clear indicator of a company's financial health. You can also review the "Positive Factors" and "Negative Factors" to ensure you are onboarding financially stable clients.
