This week, our founder Rob Hayward sat down with Aishat Idris, host of The Nonprofit Bookkeeper podcast, to talk international payments, ethical finance, and why the FX line on your accounts might be one of your charity’s most overlooked opportunities.


The episode, titled “International Payments & Financial Inclusion with Rob from GoodFX”, explores:


💸 Why charities are still paying up to 4% on international transfers

🌍 How FinTech is transforming accessibility and reducing friction for nonprofits

♻️ The surprising carbon cost of financial systems—and how GoodFX is challenging it

🧭 What it takes to build a purpose-led financial company from the ground up

🎁 And how GoodFX is helping nonprofits turn FX costs into unrestricted income


Rob also shares the story behind GoodFX’s founding during the chaos of 2020 and what continues to drive us: a deep belief that finance can—and should—be a force for good.

“If you can get the rates you need and support local job creation in the process… what are we doing, guys?”

Tune in for practical insight, real talk about charity finance, and why the most joyful part of a CFO’s day might just be a currency audit.
