Founded in 2000, Currency UK

has helped thousands of clients

move billions of pounds around

the globe. Our focus on delivering

a comprehensive range of FX tools,

hedging services and international

payments with market leading

customer service has won us the

long term loyalty of our client base.

We invite you to join them.

WHAT WE DOWe provide three cost effective, safe and efficient services to

fulfil your international currency requirements:

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

The exchange and transfer of funds

world-wide for significant purchases.

REGULAR PAYMENT SERVICE

The exchange and transfer of regular

monthly amounts to cover items such

as pensions, mortgage payments and

rental income.

Same day international bank transfers

available in many currencies including

GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, CHF and ZAR.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We provide ‘spot’ contracts to fulfil immediate requirements,

‘forward’ contracts to guarantee a rate for a future date and

other money market tools to help you to get the best value

from the foreign exchange market.

These are covered in more detail later in this guide. In all cases,

once you have agreed a rate with your dealer over the phone,

this rate is fixed regardless of subsequent market fluctuations.

We work on your behalf to ensure that the transfer of your funds

is as quick and painless as possible. Our multilingual staff are on

hand to liaise with the recipient of the funds (if necessary) so

that the whole process is completed smoothly.

HOW WE SAVE YOU MONEYOur private client team can handle all of your foreign currency

payments & receipts and give you access to the same money

market tools as the largest companies.

exchange rates offered by the high street banks. As specialists

we buy currency on your behalf saving you up to 4% on your

overseas transfers.

We are real people at our head office in London, no call centres.

Your personal account manger is on hand to help you through

the process.

The client received €5,800 more by using Currency UK Ltd. The tourist rate was that generally available from Bureau De Change outlets.

SECURITY OF FUNDSOur regulations, authorisations, permissions and registrations

are broadly split into two categories: Customer Protection and

Anti-Money Laundering. This means that depending on which

Currency UK services you use, different regulations will apply.

As a private client transferring funds to or from the UK, the

following will apply:

Currency UK Limited is authorised and regulated by the

FCA as a Payment Service Firm (FRN 504592), Anti-Money

Laundering regulations (HMRC) and Data Protection (ICO).

What does this all mean?

// We have demonstrated and proven the measures in place to

ensure security of our clients' funds – most relevantly, the

use of segregated safeguarding/client accounts

// We have met stringent solvency tests

// We have demonstrated our compliance with consumer

based policies such as our complaints procedure and data

protection policies

// We are covered by the Financial Ombudsman – in the

unlikely event we make a mistake

At Currency UK, protecting our customers' funds is of

paramount importance. That's why we take the most stringent

precautions to make sure we comply with UK and international

legislation regarding the safeguarding of funds.

Our regulatory status can be confirmed on the

FCA register: fca.org.uk/register

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAYDon'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

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!

Sue | 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.
