Very impressed with the efficiency and friendly service. Thanks again for your assistance.
Superb Service
I dealt with a currency broker named James Hackett. He was responsive, highly knowledgeable and moved fast when the green light was given. The result was getting a really good exchange rate.

Transfer of funds from house sale
We needed to transfer a significant amount of money from Euros to GBP. The service we received from Germaine was outstanding and the rate we received was brilliant. All the advice and support from Germaine was really appreciated.

Germaine Boselli was extremely helpful and efficient and sorted my query out very quickly
I recently paid a deposit on a property…
I recently paid a deposit on a property in Spain €20,000 using my bank which cost me £17,860. If i used Currencies Direct it would've been around £17,400 maybe less. Needless to say I've since registered with them (which was a doddle) to pay the remainder. I've got my own personal account manager Germaine Boselli i can ring at anytime. Brilliant.
Excellent service from Megan and Kate
Excellent service from Megan and Kate. I was using Currencies Direct for the first time and had quite a complex requirement. They were proactive, responsive, and very clear with their guidance.
The three transactions all went very smoothly, the exchange rate was fair, and CD provided frequent updates on the status and progress. Very, very pleased that I used CD
Jamie was very helpful
Jamie was very helpful , explained everything clearly and simply, that gave me confidence to achieve my target rate. He was always prompt at responding to my question, very approachable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to make a money transfer.
Easy forex
Competitive rates, great customer service and a reliable and easy-to-use website. They are my forex go-to and I've been using them for years now with zero issues. (I previously used Ebury, but their portal was really hard to navigate and in terms of customer service they didn't seem to be interested in anyone who wasn't a professional currency trader.)
Good communication and excellence…
Good communication and excellence guidance.
Excellent personal service
Excellent personal service. Prompt replies and great explanations. My only comment is that the process of making a transfer of funds into a bank account can be slower than 24hrs, so planning ahead is required.
Easy Transactions
Easy to set up an account and then follow-up from a Currencies Direct case manager. Easy to transfer money with no fees and a good exchange rate
Germaine Boselli was so very helpful…
Germaine Boselli was so very helpful when I phoned her the other day to receive a refund from my Spanish lawyer. Germaine went through the stages step by step and gave me exactly what was needed. I couldn’t be more grateful. The service and staff member was great. Thank you Germaine Boselli at Currancies Direct
Reliable, good rates, prompt service
Megan Reeve my account manager, was helpful as ever in securing me a good exchange rate for a sizeable transfer. She has come up trumps, again!

Long turn around times and poor service
My experience with CD was overwhelmingly negative. Long turn around times and sloppy service. In the end I had to request a different broker (something Ive never had to do before). I’ll never use them again
