Currency Exchange Brokers - Private Clients

Below you will find an easy-to-use list of Foreign Currency Exchange providers. These companies are specialists in currency exchange and will be able to offer you a far superior exchange rate than a regular bank.

When looking for a Foreign Exchange service from our list, check what percentage the margin is, as this can vary slightly between providers. Some may set a minimum limit and will charge a fee if the amount you wish to transfer is below this (for example, the minimum transfer amount free of charge may be £1,000).

The great thing about using a foreign exchange broker is that you will be assigned a dedicated broker who will personally work with you. They will be able to offer you their expertise of the currency market and offer you support and advice whenever you need it. Foreign Exchange Brokers offer a fully automated service that is easy to use and convenient. It is important that you take the time to find the foreign exchange broker that best suits you and your exchange needs.

Whether you are making a one off international money transfer or regular overseas payments a foreign exchange broker is likely to be able to get you a far better rate in comparison to your bank or standard transfer service. They will tailor the transfer to your needs and you will never have to speak to a call centre but will always speak to your personal broker.

Advantages

Advantages

1. Save Money - Many individuals and businesses still use their bank for foreign exchange transactions, resulting in poor exchange rates, a lack of personal service, and a "one size fits all" approach. Due to our established relationships in the "inter-bank" foreign exchange market, TorFX is able to offer wholesale rates of exchange on transactions over £5,000. The average saving made by our clients on a transaction of £100,000, is 1.9%, or £1,900.
2. Avoid Exchange Rate Fluctuations - Because exchange rates change by the second it would be almost impossible to forecast exactly what the rate would be when your transaction is processed. You may have negotiated the best price for your purchase, but it could easily be offset by a slight change in the exchange rate. TorFX can fix the exchange rate for you for up to two years which will protect you from future rate movements, helping you stick to your budget!
3. Market Expertise - Senior dealing staff are drawn from financial market and banking backgrounds, bringing extensive knowledge of the foreign exchange markets. With MSTA qualified currency analysts on hand to discuss your transaction, and keep you informed, you can be sure that you will receive the information you need in a professional and timely manner.
4. Excellent Services - In addition to providing you with a preferential exchange rate, TorFX also offer a variety of dealing mechanisms to help you optimize your transaction. Forward contracts, limit orders and stop orders are excellent ways of ensuring that you get the most currency for your money. Our free market analysis could also give you the edge you need to secure a better rate. 
5. Security of Funds - TorFX is regulated by HM Revenue&Customs (no: 12191606), and is a member of the UK Money Transmitters Association. All client funds are held in client segregated accounts with our banking partner, Barclays Bank PLC.  
6. Personal Service - Each client is allocated their own personal account manager who will guide them through every stage of their foreign currency transaction. Our friendly dealers will keep you informed as often as you wish, by email or telephone, and will do everything possible to help you get the most from your transaction. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile, because unlike the "one size fits all" approach of the high street banks, we believe that our customers deserve a high level of service when making large currency transfers.
7. No Commission
8. Fast International Transfers - TorFX will send your currency to its destination free of charge, by TT/CHAPS. We can pay your solicitor, vendor, notary or supplier direct, saving you time and money. Our same day international payments are fast, reliable and free*. We can also provide you with an internationally recognised payment confirmation as soon as your currency has been sent.
9. Free Account Opening Facilities - Opening an account is free of charge, there is no obligation to trade, and you will not be charged any administration charges for maintaining your account.
10. No Obligation Quotations - You can get instant dealing quotes from your account manager by telephone or email. The bank will often refuse to give a live quote, or will not inform you of your exchange rate until later. Even worse, they may offer you the "tourist" rate of exchange, whereas on a large transaction, you should be offered a far better quote. TorFX provide live, transparent quotes based on the amount of currency you are sending, so you truly know where you stand, and can budget accordingly.


Disadvantages
