Founded in 2019, The Currency is a subscription-funded news publication that covers business, finance, economics, and public policy. It aims to offer insightful, dynamic, brave stories, commentary, and investigations.

The publication was born from a desire to create quality journalism. The editorial agenda is independent and does not shy away from any public interest story. The agenda is based on journalism driven by quality and sustainability. Its founders, Tom Lyons and Ian Kehoe, want to invest in journalism and create a sustainable venture.

The audience can subscribe through monthly or annual memberships.
