Currency Exchange
Why do I need a currency broker?
The short answer is “you don´t!” You could go to your high street bank, building society or post office, accept their standard currency exchange rate and be done with it – provided that you don´t mind getting a low exchange rate, paying a high commission rate and being dealt with by whoever is available at the time, even if they know nothing about foreign currency or foreign money transfers.
But if you want to be assisted by an experienced personal account manager, who will explain your foreign currency options in plain English and ensure that you receive the best exchange rates, use a currency broker – preferably Foreign Currency Direct!
By the way, their claim to offer the best exchange rates is not hype. They really do offer the best foreign currency exchange rates. That´s why they were named the provider of the “Best Exchange Rates” in Sunday Times surveys for three years running.
No commission or hidden fees
Apart from saving money and getting genuinely personal service, you won´t pay any commission, or hidden fees, or transfer charges.
To be fair, you won´t save much if you only need a few hundred Euros for a holiday, but if you need a few thousand Euros, or you´re buying or selling a property abroad, you could save a substantial amount – and you´ll have the reassurance of knowing that you´ve used the most secure, efficient and cost-effective method for the currency transaction.
I can personally recommend the services of Foreign Currency Direct, my own experience of FCD goes back ten years to my very first house purchase in Spain.
Transactions arranged through FCD are always at the most competitive rates, and the service is fast and efficient. An estimate of the typical savings using FCD over high street bank transactions are in the region of 1 to 2%, or £1,000 to £2,000 saved for every £100,000 transferred. You can get an idea of the award winning rates that are available from FCD by using the currency converter below.
