My first time using Sterling

My first time using Sterling. I was hugely impressed. I did a lot of research before choosing a company. Some companies offer decent exchange rates but these are negated by the delivery charge. Sterling delivery is free over £700 which suited me. Ordering online was easy and the currency was delivered the following morning. I will be using Sterling again. 5 big stars.

I've used Sterling FX for a few years now, find their rates competitive (usually slightly better than others).
The process from purchase to choosing the delivery date that suits me is another reason I use them.
Everything is quick and easy to follow.
Will continue to use them as my first choice for any currency I need in the future.

Easy to order

Easy to order, efficient, good rate, the cash arrived the day agreed. I would have preferred the company buying back any unused cash at the original rate, without paying an sdditional fee, but overall, well done Sterling FX.

Dear Chaudhry,

Thank you for your feedback

Please note that the initial bank details provided were invalid, which prevented the transfer from being completed. We contacted you and requested the correct beneficiary bank details; however, there was a delay in receiving the updated information from your side. As a result, the transfer could not be processed within the original timeframe.

Once the corrected bank details were received, the transfer proceeded in line with our standard processing times.

Many thanks,

Sterling FX

I use Sterling FX quite often. They are always up there with a competitive rate (I purchase Euros mostly). The process is easy to navigate and the bank transfer seamlessly connects and remitted.
The arrival date is self choice and the currency always arrives as expected on such date.
If you are thinking about it I’d say don’t hesitate.

Fast service

Fast service, delivered when stated. Only problem was that i used them as they gave an option of small or large denominations, the reason being where we are going they do not accept 50s so selected small denominations, however we recieved 1600 in 50s. Will now have to try and exchange somewhere.
