Why choose Foreign Currency Direct?
Highly competitive GBP exchange rates

No Commission or Hidden Fees
As well as getting highly competitive exchange rates, you’ll save by not paying any hidden fees. We are transparent, we make our money on the margins at which we buy and sell the currency.
We will only make a small charge if your transaction is under £50,000. The charge for this is £15.00. Above that, there’s one free transfer per transaction.
Award-winning customer service
Transferring large sums with a company you don’t know could be a cause for concern. To offer a little reassurance we use Feefo, an independent reviews service to survey our clients and show their feedback online here.
We have also been awarded the Feefo Gold Trusted Service Award for our exceptional customer reviews.

T. Thomas
UK
The service was effortless to use and I was kept up to date all the way through the process with courtesy calls and advice from the same contact in the selling of my home abroad and returning the funds back to the UK. I would highly recommend this service to friends and colleagues in the future.
A. Bishop
UK
We just sold our house in Spain and used Foreign Currency Direct to change Euros to Sterling. They were extremely good and it was remarkably quick and easy. I would definitely recommend them.
T. Fox
I had the money from the sale of our villa in Spain transferred to my bank account in the UK. My contact was James and they handled every aspect of the transfer quickly and efficiently and after agreeing the rate the money was in my uk bank account the same day.
P. Latham
I used them to repatriate the proceeds of the sale of my house in France including a forward contract to protect my exchange rate. The service was exemplary and even included a French speaker in their office smoothing things with the Notaire who had no understanding how a currency broker worked. Their rates are very competitive and the broker interaction efficient, personal and reassuring.
