The story

Centtrip was founded in 2013 by veterans of UK corporate FX brokerages to serve internationally mobile, high-touch verticals — music tours, superyachts, film crews, private aviation — that need to move and spend money across many currencies at short notice. Its product wrap is a multi-currency e-money account plus a prepaid Mastercard, with FX rates intermediated via Currencycloud. The 2024+ RoyFi partnership signals a push beyond pure spend/FX into embedded financing (royalty advances), turning Centtrip from a treasury tool into a financial OS for the creative class.
