FOREIGN EXCHANGE FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS
FOREIGN EXCHANGE & INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS
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.
Private individuals normally only have access to the poor
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 1.3780 was a rate offered by Currency UK Ltd for a trade of £200,000 to a private client, a major high street bank offered 1.3490 for the same amount. 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

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.
