Why use us for international money transfers?
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.

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.
G. Canty
France
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.
