Yes. We’d be happy to hear from you. Call us on +44 (0) 20 7847 9400 or email [email protected].
Whatever works for you – app, online, or talking to one of our experts over the phone. And you can pay for your transfer by bank transfer or debit card.
The rate you'll typically see when you do a general search is the ‘interbank rate' – the wholesale rate at which banks, and major financial institutions, buy and sell currency. This isn't available to individuals or most companies.
At Currencies Direct, we buy currency in bulk at wholesale prices and pass the savings on to you as customers via competitive exchange rates. The exchange rate we quote to customers consists of a base or reference rate plus a variable margin. We keep the margin – it’s our return for doing the exchange.
The exchange rate changes every few seconds, but once we agree a rate with you that's the rate you'll get.
For most transfers there are no fees, however there may be fees applied when using our Batchpay service.
You’ll agree the exchange rate in the app, online, or with your account manager. You’ll be asked to confirm if you’re happy to go ahead with that rate. Once you’ve committed to that rate it is fixed for you, no matter how much the market changes.
If there are any issues with the currency transfer on our end, we’ll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
If you notice an issue, you can contact us on +44 (0) 20 7847 9400 or email [email protected] and we will investigate. Our operations team can put a trace on your money to track its progress and then work to resolve any issues.
If something goes wrong with the property transaction, then it’s best to get in touch with whoever’s involved in the sale. This may be your lawyer, notary, mortgage provider and/or the seller.
We’ll do our best to help if we can, so please do get in touch if you want guidance. For instance, we may be able to submit a ‘recall of funds’ to our banking partners if you send money to the wrong person.
While currency is our expertise, we like to offer help and support wherever we can.
Our website contains lots of useful pages on different reasons why you might want to buy a property, such as moving overseas or working abroad, as well as country-specific guides. We also offer a wealth of articles and blog posts providing useful tips and information about purchasing property overseas.
In addition, many of our team members in our overseas offices have local knowledge and years of experience. They may be able to answer questions about a particular area or point you in the right direction for more information.
