Who We Are

Our Team
Gavan Smythe
Managing Director

Gavan started iCompareFX back in 2014 after discovering the easiest way to wire money internationally was through a specialist provider and not the big banks. Living an expat life across five countries, Gavan was feeling increasingly frustrated by the fees, length of time and bureaucracy of transferring money and thought there had to be a better way.

Working with global clients, he has become an expert in comparing money remittance companies. An ex-financial/IT nut turned entrepreneur, he reviews the best and cheapest providers available on the market.

Gavan’s expertise in comparing money remittance companies now lends him to being a leader in the industry driving new innovation and offering an enhanced service for all his customers.
