Currency Exchange & Money Transfers
Moving abroad means moving money — and banks quietly take a cut on every transfer. Through our partner Currencies Direct, you get better exchange rates, no transfer fees and a dedicated specialist, so more of your money arrives where it’s going.
Our Currency Partner
See What You’d Get Today
When you relocate internationally, you’ll almost always need to move money across borders — a deposit on a home, your savings, a pension or a salary. Do it through a high-street bank and you can lose 3–5% to poor exchange rates and fees without ever seeing a line item for it.
That’s why we partner with Currencies Direct. They’ve specialised in international transfers since 1996, give you a real person to help you time the market, and consistently beat bank rates — with no transfer fees on the vast majority of payments. Use the live converter to see a rate right now.
