Why use us to buy Australian Dollars?
Save money when sending money overseas
Our service is designed to take the stress, hassle and unnecessary costs out of overseas money transfers.
Clients looking to make an international money transfer can save money compared to the high street banks by using our service. In fact, our competitive exchange rates are something we are very proud of.
Transparent fees
As well as getting competitive exchange rates, you’ll save by not paying any hidden fees. We make our money on the margins at which we buy and sell the currency.
We will only make a small additional charge of £15 if your transaction is under £50,000.
Security of your money
The security of your money is something we take seriously. We’re authorised as an e-money institution by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we’re required to safeguard your money by keeping it in segregated accounts. We hold these with trusted mainstream banks, and because we’re an authorised e-money institution, you can keep your currency with us until you need to make a payment.
Friendly, experienced, personal Account Manager
Every time you call us you will speak to your own Account Manager – someone who knows your situation and is fully aware of what you are trying to achieve.
The transfer of your money will be handled by your dedicated Account Manager, who will be on hand to provide assistance and answer any questions you may have.

Daniel was not only informative but patient and gave us options on the lead up to our currency exchange (sale of UK property and moving to Oz). Daniel’s reviews enabled us to gain the maximum value reached this year on the exchange rates. This has made a huge difference to our monthly outgoings and has put us on the right foot for our start down under.
