The dream of a life in Europe still holds true, and while it is enjoyable to spend hours researching different countries and regions within these countries one factor that can be absolutely critical is the foreign currency exchange rates.
If you are thinking of buying a holiday home in Brittany or a villa in Tuscany, emigrating to the Costa Del Sol, or simply need to transfer money to pay the bills, we at Foreign Currency Direct plc can help ensure you make the most of your currency transfer. With the currency markets so volatile and Pound to Euro exchange rates moving by several percent over the course of a week it is more important than ever to be dealing with a currency specialist.
Our team of friendly and experienced currency brokers are here to discuss all the options available to you so that you can make an informed decision as to when best to send your money abroad. We offer highly competitive exchange rates when changing your Pounds into Euros and make buying Euros simple so that you can get on with your move.
