About Us
Currency risk doesn't sleep. Neither do we. Sanctuary Protection exists because businesses like yours shouldn't lose money to exchange rate chaos. We've spent 13 years watching companies get blindsided by currency moves they never saw coming. That stops with us. Our job's straightforward: protect what you've earned. Whether you're exporting goods, paying international suppliers, or managing cross-border investments, we've got tools that work. Real tools. Not fancy theories. We handle the complex stuff so you can focus on running your business.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Straight Talk
We explain what's happening and why. No corporate double-speak. You get the real situation, the real risks, and the real options.
Your Money Matters
Every percentage point counts. We treat your cash like it's our own because protecting it's literally our job.
Always Available
Markets move at 3 AM. We're here when you need answers. Email, phone, or face-to-face. Pick your speed.
Results Over Stories
We don't brag about our process. We show you the money saved and the risk removed. Metrics matter.
Our Mission
Stop currency risk from stealing your profits. We provide protection strategies that actually work. No jargon. No surprises. Just honest guidance and solid hedging solutions that keep your money where it belongs—in your pocket.
Our Vision
A world where businesses cross borders without fear. Where exchange rates don't dictate strategy. Where companies compete on merit, not luck. We're building that world. One protected transaction at a time.

The people behind Sanctuary Protection
Mircea Popescu

Trader with 22 years in currency markets. Built Sanctuary after watching too many businesses lose money they'd worked hard for. Still trades daily. Still obsessed with finding better protection methods.
Ana Ionescu
Head of Risk Management
Former bank hedger. Moved here because banks are too slow. Runs our protection strategies and watches markets like a hawk. Her spreadsheets are legendary (in a good way).
Vlad Dimitrescu
Client Operations Lead
Handles everything from setup to execution. Talks to clients in plain language about complicated stuff. Coffee addict. Responds to emails faster than you'd think possible.
We’re a team that values ownership, clarity, and growth. We celebrate wins, learn fast, and keep client outcomes at the center.
Our Story
Started in 2011 because we were tired of watching good businesses take currency hits. The founder—a trader who'd seen too much damage firsthand—decided there had to be a better way. Something transparent. Something reliable. Something that didn't require a PhD to understand. We built Sanctuary Protection from that frustration. Seventeen years later, we've protected thousands of transactions across 24 countries. Our clients range from small exporters shipping one container a month to mid-sized manufacturers moving millions. The core idea hasn't changed: make currency protection accessible. Make it work.
