Why choose Foreign Currency Direct?
Highly competitive Euro exchange rates
Our Euro exchange rates can beat those offered by the high street banks, so you could save significant amounts on your transfer to France. That's a lot of extra Euros if you are purchasing a French property.
Timing is crucial, especially when large amounts of money are involved. We keep you informed about market events so that you can make an informed decision about when to transfer.
Friendly, experienced, personal currency broker
Every time you contact us, you speak to your own personal currency broker – someone who knows your situation, understands your needs and is fully aware of what you are trying to achieve and when.
The transfer of your money to France will be handled by your dedicated currency broker, who will be on hand to provide assistance and answer any questions.
No Commission or Hidden Fees
As well as getting highly competitive exchange rates, you’ll save by not paying any commission or hidden fees either.
We make our money on the margins at which we buy and sell Euros. What you gain from using us to send money to France is yours to spend.

Award-winning customer service
We understand that using a company you don’t know to transfer large sums of money could be a cause for concern. To offer a little reassurance we use Feefo, an independent feedback service to survey our clients and display their reviews online here.

Reliable service, good rate and fantastic consultants. We live partly in France and frequently change GBP into Euros. Very reliable and good rates, always.

Australia
We are used to efficient, friendly and value-for-money service from you – and our recent transaction was no exception. We are complete novices, living in Australia and renovating an old farmhouse in France – we’ve saved a good deal of money with very competitive, unparalleled rates and learned a bit too.

I sent an email to Foreign Currency Direct to request some euros, they called me back almost immediately, offered me a good rate, I paid them straight away and the money was in my French account the next morning. Best service I have ever had in nearly 7 years of living in France.

They were familiar with the notaire in France I was dealing with. The transfer of funds came through immediately. A breath of fresh air.
