Foren powers our payments, so we can focus on our people. At Nittygritty4rex, our mission is simple: deliver seamless, reliable service to our customers, no matter where they are in the world. But for too long, cross-border payments were our biggest challenge. Slow transfers, hidden fees, and fragmented platforms meant delays that frustrated our team and our customers. Everything changed when we partnered with Foren. Foren provides the robust, effective banking platform we needed, built specifically for businesses like ours. As an MSB, we require speed, compliance, and absolute reliability, and that’s exactly what we get. Their platform enables smooth, fast, and transparent cross-border payments, eliminating the friction that once slowed us down. Thanks to Foren, we can now serve our customers without interruption. Funds move quickly, exchange rates are clear, and our team has full visibility every step of the way. It’s not just a payment solution. It’s a true partnership that lets us focus on what we do best: delivering exceptional service to the people who count on us. Foren doesn’t just process our payments. They empower our business. Their platform is reliable, their support is exceptional, and the difference it has made to our customer experience is incredible. We couldn’t recommend them more.

Foren General FAQs

What is Foren?

Foren is a global financial platform that enables individuals and businesses to send, receive, hold, manage, and swap funds across supported currencies.

Is Foren the same company as Leatherback?

Yes. Leatherback is now Foren. It is the same company, team, and regulatory licenses, with a new name, visual identity, and refined service experience.

Why is Leatherback changing its name?

Leatherback is transitioning to Foren as part of the next stage of growth of the business. Following our acquisition by Zedcrest Group, we are evolving our brand to reflect our continued growth and long-term vision. While our name and visual identity are changing, our commitment to providing secure, reliable, and convenient financial services remains unchanged.

Is the rebrand to Foren because of the acquisition by Zedcrest Group?

The transition to Foren follows Zedcrest Group's acquisition of Leatherback and marks the next chapter in our journey. More than a change in name and visual identity, this is an opportunity to rethink and strengthen our vision, proposition and experience around what our customers need to grow and operate globally.

As we evolve into Foren, we remain committed to the customers, relationships and services you know and trust, while building a stronger, more capable business designed to better support your ambitions and growth.

When will the new brand name take effect?

The Foren brand will officially launch on 5 October 2026. From this date, you will begin seeing the Foren name and branding across our app, website, emails, and other communication channels.

Will Leatherback's services change because of the rebrand?

No. The rebrand will not change the services you use or how you access them. Your account and existing services will continue to operate as usual, with improvements being introduced to enhance your overall experience.

Do I need to open a new account?

No. Your existing account will move to Foren automatically. Your balances, transaction history, and account details will remain associated with your account.

You will need to update your app when prompted and sign in using your existing email address and password.
