Caxton Group (commonly known as Caxton) is a United Kingdom–based payments and foreign exchange company. The group provides travel money services, international payments, payroll solutions, and foreign exchange risk management. Since its founding in 2002, Caxton has processed more than £20 billion in transactions for consumer and business clients.


Caxton was founded in 2002 with an initial investment of £25,000 by entrepreneur Rupert Lee-Browne. The company launched as a foreign exchange and payments provider and was among the early UK entrants into the prepaid travel money card sector.

By 2007, Caxton introduced its multi-currency prepaid card, which became one of its core consumer offerings. The company has since expanded into corporate services, international payments, and payroll solutions.

As of 2025, the group processes over £1 billion annually, serving nearly one million customers and more than 1,000 corporate clients.
