" " " " WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY Don't take our word for it, here's a selection of what some of our clients have to say: I will never use my bank for larger value international transfers again - Currency UK does a terrific job, faster, far better value and with outstanding customer service and communication. Highly recommended. Malcolm Private client My very first trade with Currency UK was under difficult circumstances. Despite this Currency UK took my trade and sent me my currency as soon as they received my payment - which was several days before the agreed payment date. Janet Private client I have used Currency UK for many years now, and have always found them to be easy to deal with, and most professional, at all times. They act promptly and offer fair rates for both large and small transactions. I can confidently recommend them for a fast and fair service, which far exceeds anything offered by traditional banks, in foreign currency payments. Roger Private client As with many people purchasing property in Europe, the rate of exchange fluctuated considerably during the period it took to complete. With your help we arranged a forward contract which saved us 3,000-5,000. I am sending a bottle of champagne to the person who recommended you to us!
