Home Blog Business OFX wins Excellent Brand of Forex Services award

From a small satellite office in Hong Kong to now an award-winning business, with a decade operating in region.

We couldn’t be prouder to be recognised as the Excellent Brand of Forex Services for 2021. Organised by the Metro Finance Radio, the Hong Kong Leaders’ Choice Awards are voted by a panel of reputable government representatives, business leaders and top journalists in Hong Kong. In this category OFX were judged against a number of providers in the foreign exchange space across several areas including brand awareness, brand management, market recognition, marketing strategies and customer satisfaction.

It’s fantastic recognition for our OFXperts in Hong Kong, who through their service, strive to bring a better, fairer way to move globally to their clients.

“It’s humbling to win the Leaders’ Choice for ‘Excellent Brand of Forex Services’ award, which recognises OFX’s commitment to the Asia market and the support and dedication of our local Hong Kong team. What’s also really exciting for us is that it signals a broader awareness of specialist FX services. If customers can break their habits of using a bank they’ll discover the benefits of working with a FX specialist including competitive rates and fees, customer support from dedicated FX experts and a purpose built platform.” commented Yung Ngo, President Asia Pacific, OFX.

Yung and Cissy Hon, Head of Sales and Partnerships, Hong Kong, sat down with Metro Finance Radio to reflect on winning the award and to share what’s coming up in 2021.
