During the financial year to 31 December 2025, the directors have considered the needs of the Company's stakeholders as part of their decision-making process. Specifically, the directors consider the likely consequences of its decisions in the long term and the need to act fairly between its stakeholders. The Company’s key stakeholders, why they are important to the Company and how they have been engaged are:
Clients: Clients are central to the business. R360’s business model is targeting under-banked customers who are looking for reliable, stable and easy-to-use money remittance solution. R360 aims to provide a high-quality product in a timely manner tailored to the needs of its clientele in a cost-effective way, while being committed to having healthy controls, policies and procedures in place to mitigate client risk and as defined by its supervision authority (FCA).
In striving to achieve its mission, the Company’s value proposition will include: the vast geography of the payment system participants, low commissions, favourable currency conversion rates, the ability to make transfers online 24/7 and other.
Shareholders: Delivering for the Company's shareholders ensures that the business continues to be successful in the long term and can therefore continue to deliver for all our stakeholders. The current sole shareholder is actively engaged on a full-time basis in the daily management and running of Remittance360 and this allows for complete transparency in operation.
Employees: The Company endeavours to have employees that are inspired and motivated. Regular training, including training in relation to customer due diligence and all aspects of AML, is provided to allow employees to perform their duties.
Partners and suppliers: Building strong relationships with payment partners and other suppliers enables the Company to obtain the best value, service and quality. The directors work hard to understand our supply chain and develop deeper and more strategic relationships with key suppliers. We recognize the importance of partner feedback and prioritize flexibility during the integration process. Partner due diligence is an integral part of the company’s day-to-day activities. In doing this we partner with industry leaders such as Dow Jones and Kroll to carry out checks. Risk based approach is used to tailor the amount of due diligence procedures according to country specific and other risks.
Impact of operations on the community and the environment: The Company's mission is oriented on global financial stability and sustainability, which it extends to the society and environment at large. The company is dedicated to having a positive environmental impact and accomplishes this on a day-to-day basis by adopting remote working, which minimizes the company's operational footprint. The Company hopes to lessen the effect people have on the environment by empowering customers to manage more of their financial lives electronically.
Maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct: The Company's most important commitment is to its clients, whose interests are represented by regulatory authorities such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and other industry organizations. The Company collaborates closely with these organizations to promote a healthy industry, and they keep in touch on a regular basis about issues such as company conduct, compliance, and sustainable business practices.
Acting fairly across stakeholders: The Company is committed to acting fairly and transparently with different stakeholder groups and individuals.
Likely consequences of any decision in the long term: When making decisions, the Board considers all of the interests articulated above. In addition to the immediate impact, these decisions consider the potential long-term impacts on different stakeholders.
On behalf of the board
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
JF Francis Ltd were re-appointed as auditor to the company and in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed will be put at a General Meeting.
As the company has not consumed more than 40,000 kWh of energy in this reporting period, it qualifies as a low energy user under these regulations and is not required to report on its emissions, energy consumption or energy efficiency activities.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
We have audited the financial statements of Remittance360 Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for opinion
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate as per the note 1.2 of accounting policies.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
the information given in the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Our audit procedures in relation to non-compliance with laws and regulations included, but were not limited to:
Discussing with the directors and management their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations and reviewing correspondence with regulators and with solicitors; and
Communicating identified laws and regulations with the audit team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit; and
Considering the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
Reviewing minutes from the board meetings and
Considering whether the financial statement disclosures fairly represent the underlying transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to irregularities and fraud included, but were not limited to:
Making enquiries of directors and management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, and whether they had knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks relating to fraud; and
Discussing the risk of fraud and management bias with the audit team and remaining alert to any indications of fraud and management bias throughout the audit; and
Addressing the risk of management override of controls by testing journal entries, considering the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions, and reviewing accounting estimates
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management.
Because of these inherent limitations, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. This risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors responsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Depreciation is fully charged in the year of acquisition, with no depreciation recorded in the year of disposal.
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Subordinated debt. Subordinated debt can only be paid in the event of a liquidation after the claims of other higher priority creditors have been met. Subordinated debt is carried at amortised debt.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
Safeguarded Funds
The company maintains a policy of holding funds on behalf of its partners in segregated accounts and disclosed in the financial statements.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
There were no critical judgements made by the management that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Critical judgement
Choice of the functional currency

Even though there were significant costs in GBP in the previous two financial years, they are not material in relation to the EUR investment and anticipated revenue flow.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the end of each month.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges
