Our mission

To never worry about FX again.

Bound was founded in 2020 by founders Seth and Dan to solve the problems finance teams face with traditional FX brokers: opaque pricing, outdated processes, and a lack of flexibility.

Our Values

We are hungry for the vision and the impact we want to have. We care deeply about what we’re building and push ourselves to go further. That hunger drives us to keep learning, keep improving, and keep raising the bar. We are also, occasionally, hungry for lunch.

Hungry

We are obsessed with the product, the work, and our customers. We care about the details, execute with discipline, and take pride in getting things done properly. That obsession shows up in quality, follow-through, and momentum.

Obsessed

We are grounded in reality. Calm under pressure, honest about what we know, and what we don't know. We value good judgment, practical thinking, and steady progress over hype or ego.

Grounded

Join our team!

We invite you to join our world class team who are building a new way of managing FX.
