PropertyPay is our bespoke property completion service which eliminates the need for banker's drafts and electronic transfers via your lawyer's or notary's bank account.
We can help you take control over how and when you send or receive your funds, achieve a better exchange rate, and enjoy peace of mind.
What’s more, with 20+ local branches, on-the-ground experts, and thousands of partners in the property and professional services sectors, we can provide a level of support and insight you just can’t get anywhere else.
PropertyPay is entirely free, helping buyers avoid costly fees associated with banker’s drafts and Order to Move Funds (OMF) transfers.
Unlike conventional methods that can take days to obtain cleared funds, our solution offers instant fund guarantees and disbursements between buyers and sellers.
Funds are kept solely in client accounts, enabling direct transfers from buyer to seller without the involvement of third parties like lawyers, estate agents or notaries.
Enjoy a streamlined, secure solution with no physical paperwork, bank visits, or unnecessary delays.
If the property transaction fails to go ahead for any reason, your funds will stay safely in your Currencies Direct account for you to manage as and when you need to.
Benefit from having local bank accounts, eliminating the need for international transfers and associated fees.
Take advantage of favourable exchange rates by buying currency when the rate is right and holding it in a secure digital wallet until needed. You can also fix or target an exchange rate to suit your preferences.
Use your online account or our app to make swift, secure transfers, track payments, and view transaction history. Your personal account manager is also available whenever you need assistance.
*Fund transfers can be instant if both the buyer and seller have an account with Currencies Direct Spain, EDE SL.
When you’re moving money abroad, knowing it’s in safe hands is everything.
Since the UK left the European Union, all financial companies operating in the EU need to be licensed by an EU authority. If a foreign exchange provider isn’t licensed to work in the EU, then their customers may not be fully protected.
We're authorised by the Bank of Spain as an Electronic Money Institution (Registration no. 6716) in the EU, and by the FCA (FRN 900669) in the UK, meaning we’re fully licensed to operate in Spain and throughout the European Union.

"Just being able to put the funds in to my Currencies Direct wallet and transfer it directly to the vendor's Currencies Direct wallet at the time of signing made things so simple. The vendor received his money within 15 minutes!
"With the increase in cybercrime, I felt this was a very safe way of moving money, rather than having to transfer the funds to my lawyer who then forwards it on again. Would highly recommend this service."
