Orbis Exchange Group partners with TaxConnex to support international businesses expanding into the US
Global payments and treasury specialist joins forces with US sales tax experts to help international businesses manage the financial and compliance challenges associated with entering and growing across the United States.
9 September 2026: Orbis Exchange Group, the global payments and treasury partner with offices in London, Dubai and Los Angeles, has agreed a strategic partnership with TaxConnex, a specialist provider of US sales and use tax compliance services.
The partnership will create a trusted route between both organisations, giving international businesses access to a tailored support system and specialist expertise that can adapt to their needs as they grow.
The challenges of expanding into the US
The United States presents significant opportunities for international businesses, but it also introduces financial and regulatory considerations that can be unfamiliar to companies entering the market for the first time.
Businesses may need to receive revenue from US customers, convert dollars into their home currency, pay international suppliers and employees, and manage the effect that exchange-rate movements can have on margins and cash flow.
At the same time, selling across different US states can create sales tax obligations that differ considerably from the VAT systems used in the UK and many other international markets.
Sales tax requirements are generally determined at state and local level. Depending on where and how a business sells, it may need to assess its economic nexus, determine whether its products or services are taxable, register in relevant states, calculate the correct tax, and manage ongoing filings and remittances.
These responsibilities can arise even when an international business does not have a physical office or employees in the US.
The result is that international growth can create two connected challenges: establishing the right infrastructure to move and manage money efficiently, and understanding the compliance obligations created by selling into new markets.
Bringing together complementary expertise
Orbis supports businesses with cross-border payments, international collections, named currency accounts and foreign exchange risk management.
Rather than approaching each international payment as an isolated transaction, Orbis works with businesses to understand their wider currency requirements, payment routes, commercial timelines and exposure to market movements.
TaxConnex supports international businesses in understanding and managing their US sales tax responsibilities. Its services include nexus and taxability reviews, registrations, sales tax calculations, managed filing and remittance, and ongoing advisory support.
By bringing these capabilities together, the partnership can help businesses put the appropriate financial and compliance foundations in place as they enter or expand across the US.
What the partnership means for clients
Orbis clients with existing or planned US operations will be able to access specialist support from TaxConnex when sales tax obligations, registrations or ongoing compliance require attention.
TaxConnex clients with international payment, collection or foreign exchange requirements will be able to access Orbis for support with the movement and management of money across borders.
The partnership is designed to provide businesses with:
Access to specialist US sales tax expertise
International named accounts to make receiving overseas revenue quicker and easier
Efficient cross-border payment solutions
Support managing exposure to changing exchange rates
Greater visibility over incoming and outgoing international payments
A coordinated route to relevant expertise as their international requirements evolve
Each organisation will remain responsible for its own specialist area. Orbis does not provide tax advice, and TaxConnex does not provide foreign exchange or payment services.
Supporting businesses throughout their international journey
The partnership reflects Orbis Exchange Group’s wider commitment to building a carefully selected network of specialist partners around the needs of internationally active businesses.
Entering a new market rarely creates just one isolated requirement. A company expanding into the US may simultaneously need to reconsider how it collects revenue, converts currency, pays suppliers, protects its margins and complies with unfamiliar tax obligations.
Having trusted specialists who understand where their respective services connect can make that process considerably easier.
Through the partnership, Orbis and TaxConnex aim to give businesses access to the right support at the right stage of their growth, without expecting internal finance teams to manage every specialist requirement alone.
Comment
“Expanding into the US can be a major opportunity for an international business, but it also creates a new set of financial and operational challenges. Our role is to ensure businesses have the right payment, account and currency-risk structure to support that growth.
“TaxConnex brings specialist expertise to an area that can be particularly difficult for international businesses to navigate. This partnership gives our clients access to a more complete support system as they establish themselves and grow across the US.”
Robert McClelland, Account Director, Orbis Exchange Group
“International businesses entering the US often discover that sales tax is very different from the VAT or GST systems they are familiar with. Obligations can vary between states and become increasingly complex without the right preemptive measures in place
“By partnering with Orbis, we can help businesses address both the sales tax responsibilities and the international financial requirements associated with operating in the US.”
