New partnership reduces foreign exchange risk for exporters
3 February 2026
Chamber International and the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce have confirmed a new strategic partnership with Jackson Swiss Partners Trading Limited to provide businesses that export and import with specialist foreign exchange and international payment support.
While the partnership itself was announced in December, Chamber International will begin actively promoting the service to businesses from Tuesday 3 February, aligning with the availability of Jackson Swiss Partners Trading Limited’s full suite of online currency services.
The partnership comes at a time when UK exporters are facing growing uncertainty across international markets, driven by shifting trade agreements, currency volatility, evolving export controls and the continued impact of sanctions regimes across multiple regions.
Through the partnership, businesses will be able to access an online platform enabling them to trade, hold and manage funds in up to 150 currencies, alongside fixed-margin agreements designed to help protect against foreign exchange fluctuations and improve cost certainty.
In addition, businesses introduced to Jackson Swiss Partners Trading Limited through Chamber International will have access to an exclusive Chamber member benefit: a six-month fixed foreign exchange margin agreement.
This arrangement is designed to give exporters greater certainty over currency costs during a period of heightened volatility, helping them to budget more accurately, protect margins and plan international activity with greater confidence.
Jackson Swiss Partners Trading Limited reports particularly strong demand for currency support relating to trade with China, reflecting the complexity of operating in markets affected by regulatory change, geopolitical developments and currency risk. With renewed focus on UK–China trade relations and Chamber International preparing to lead a delegation of Yorkshire businesses to Guangdong and Hong Kong later this year, demand for specialist FX and payment support is expected to increase.
The service will be delivered with local, face-to-face support from their offices in Halifax, alongside online access for businesses operating across multiple international markets.
Nikki Clow, Director of International Trade at Chamber International, said:
“Exporters are operating in an increasingly complex global environment, where exchange rate volatility, regulatory change and geopolitical risk can have a direct impact on margins. This partnership gives businesses access to practical tools and specialist support to help them manage those risks more effectively as they trade internationally.”
She added:
“The inclusion of an exclusive fixed-margin agreement for Chamber-introduced businesses provides additional reassurance at a time when cost certainty has become increasingly important for exporters and importers alike.”
