Why not buy your foreign currency through a currency broker?
There are many reasons people buy foreign currency, for example:
- Purchasing a property abroad
- Transferring money overseas
- Moving abroad temporarily, or emigrating
- Making payments on a foreign mortgage
- Making payments for overseas business costs
Sometimes there’s only a one-off transaction involved. Other requirements may involve regular payments of identical or differing amounts.
Whatever your reason for buying foreign currency, you can be confident that we’re familiar with it. And we know the best way to handle the transaction to avoid unnecessary costs. We also know how to ensure that you get the best possible exchange rate.
Timing is crucial, especially where large sums are involved. There are occasions, for example, when it makes sense to commit now to ensure a favourable rate for a transaction that will take place in a year’s time. There are other occasions when delaying for a few days can save a small fortune. Our role is to ensure that you always get the best deal.
If in the past you’ve always bought your currency through your bank or building society, we recommend you to rethink that strategy.
High street currency providers need to make high profit margins to cover their overheads, so they tend to offer poor exchange rates, charge commission, or make extra profit through hidden costs.
We, on the other hand, are lean and mean. We have just one office, in a low cost location. And because we specialise only in currency and deal in very large amounts, we obtain commercial rates that we pass on to our clients. And we don’t charge commission or make any hidden charges. We earn our profit on the small margin between buying and selling, or selling and buying, in a similar way to stockbrokers.
And unlike most providers of foreign currency, as specialist currency brokers, we will give you free access to your own personal account manager, who will always be at the end of the phone to advise you and guide you expertly through every transaction you make – even if you only need currency once every year or so.
