Why use us to buy Pound Sterling?
Highly competitive GBP exchange rates
We pride ourselves on the highly competitive exchange rates we offer our clients, saving them money compared to the high street banks. The reason for this is that we deal in large volumes.
We have been trading since 2000 and last year transferred over £500m for our clients.
No commission or hidden fees
Transparency is vital when it comes to transferring money overseas. With us, there are no hidden fees. We don’t charge commission either.
We make our money on the margins at which we buy and sell the currency – that means we can offer our customers a better deal.
Secure currency transfers
We are also authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority as an Electronic Money Institution under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (Firm Reference Number 902022).
Client funds are separated from Foreign Currency Direct's own funds and are kept in client bank accounts held with Lloyds Bank Plc. We are an execution-only service and never speculate on market movements.
