Q & A with Rachel

Q & A with Rachel

Why should foreign buyers use a currency specialist?

We offer better exchange rates than high-street banks for international payments and no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our flexible currency transfer options are designed to save your clients money and protect them from exchange rate volatility. Whether they need Forward Contracts to lock in today’s rate for future transfers, Limit Orders to hit their target rate, Recurring Payments for seamless transfers or Rate Alerts to stay ahead of the game we have them covered. Unlike standard apps or online banks all of these benefits are tailored to each client’s needs.

How much can our client save by using your services?

With us you save on bank charges, admin fees and any potential fees from local banks all while getting competitive exchange rates. We encourage your clients to compare our rates with their bank’s – they’ll see the difference. Our consultation service is free so your clients have nothing to lose by speaking with us.

How can you help buyers protect themselves from currency fluctuations?

They can monitor the market themselves or let our specialists do it for them freeping up their time. We offer spot payments for quick transactions but our real value lies in forward contracts. Online banks might offer decent exchange rates but they certainly don’t provide that level of service.

Do you charge any fees or consultation charge for your expertise?

Zero fees!!! No consultation fees, no transaction fees and setting up an account with us is a few clicks away. Your clients will have direct access to a personal account manager for any queries. In a world dominated by online services and AI we believe that speaking to a real human is essential for quality business and service.

We make our money on the spread thanks to our purchasing power.

Should our clients consider you for other type of real estate transactions?

Yes! There’s a common misconception that our services are only for big transactions but that’s not the case.  Your clients can use our platform for transactions from £200 to £20,000. For regular payments we can help your clients set up recurring payments so they remain cost effective every month.

So now Rachel? Can you walk us through the buying process?

I recommend your clients get in touch with us early on in their process. By doing so we can help them lock in good rates and manage their budget better. The sooner they get in touch the more prepared they’ll be and the more they’ll get from their money.
