CostMatch: Forex Execution Marketplace with Guaranteed Rate Lock
A browser plugin + API that integrates into traders' and business owners' workflows (Gmail, Wise dashboard, bank portal, accounting software). When a user initiates a forex transaction or receives a quote, the plugin auto-captures the quote details, instantly queries 6+ liquidity providers for better rates, and displays a side-by-side comparison with a 'lock-in' button. If the user finds a better rate, the plugin facilitates the execution and takes a commission on the spread savings.

Forex traders and international business owners struggle to understand hidden costs and execution mechanics in currency transactionsPeople conducting international payments or forex trading lack clarity on what actually happens during currency conversion—hidden spreads, slippage, and execution delays cost them money without understanding why. Current solutions like banks and traditional forex brokers obscure pricing through opaque fee structures, leaving users unable to optimize their transactions or predict actual costs. This knowledge gap forces people to make expensive decisions blindly.
