Excellent service and very informative over the initial movement of our money to Spain. Danny Cook provided an outstanding service from the initial contact and throughout our buying process. Thank you Danny.

Gary was great throughout the process of sending various amounts of money to two different countries. Even when a problem arose with one payment Gary and the team did everything they could to sort out what was happening. He keeps in touch and checks in regularly. The exchange rates were good and the process simple and easy to use. Highly recommended.

I came across these guys through 'Your Overseas Home', when I was starting my property search in Portugal.
Buying a property abroad can be hugely stressful, as the process can be completely different and of course there is the additional worry of exchange rate fluctuations.
Danny helped us through the process of transferring the deposit and then fixing the rate so that when we were ready to complete, we knew exactly what we were paying. The rate offered seemed OK at the time (seemingly fairly similar to the current tourist rates), but with no additional fees on top. Although your high street bank may offer a better exchange rate, they often charge huge fees to make the transfer (which I experienced when sending a previous, smaller amount). However, the main reason for using Smart Currency Exchange was to protect us against any huge economic shocks, which we have seen in the past. Just a 1% devaluation of the £ would cost us several thousand ££'s. Of course, this could work the other way - but would you want to gamble?
The portal made things really easy to set up recipients and to check the balance (as due to constraints with our bank, we had to make frequent smaller transfers). On the completion day, everything was transferred across to our lawyer, very promptly with no issues. (I think around 24hours from the UK to Portugal)
I will continue using Smart Currency Exchange for transferring ££'s to my €€ monthly bills account. Thanks Danny!

Everybody at Smart Currency Exchange has been great. Very professional and helpful in arranging money transfers to a novice at this type of thing and providing helpful information on currency values. I would especially like to thank Matt who has been particularly helpful to us. I would certainly recommend Smart Currency Exchange to anybody wanting to use this type of service. Thank you

Great service by Matthew Lane-Miller, explained everything in our initial call and gave us time to think about the amount we wanted to send and no pressure was put on us. We were worried about sending a large amount and Matthew explained that we could send smaller amounts which we did and all came across to our Australian accounts within 2 working days. Thank you for your help and support with our transactions, your a credit to Smart Currency Exchange.

Rory was extremely helpful and available throughout the process of buying my property abroad, which proceeded seamlessly.

The service we have received from Matt in the process of selling our French houses and bringing the funds back to a UK account has been efficient and exemplary. Matt talked us through each step, kept in close contact and ensured that the transfer happened promptly. We had already checked out other companies, then Smart was recommended to us, and they proved to be the best. Thanks Matt, we will recommend and refer others to you in future.

Have never needed to use such a service before and moving large amounts of money always makes me nervous. Needed this service to enable us to buy our retirement home in Spain. Was helped all the way through and never tried to persuade me into different things. All went well and the transaction was very smooth. Would definitely use the service again if needed.

From the very first call to the transfer arriving the whole experience was incredibly professional and easy. Matthew was on the ball, guided me through from start to finish. Don't use any other exchange company.

Have been using several currency brokers during past 15 years and Rory with Smart currency was the first and only broker to provide me a truly personal customer experience.
Other brokers normally larger companies did not offer this type of customised or personal service.
The exchange rates were either matched or better than most of the larger brokers every time.
A big thank you Rory for your excellent service that you provided me during this year.

What I liked about the guy who dealt with my transfer was his persistence! He also upped his offer in line with Wise which I thought was okay. He just kept keeping in contact annoying at first but then grateful when it came to the transfer as I needed someone skilled with the money transfer.
Many thanks Rhys!!

India and Danny have been great. Moving currency may be easy for millionaires but was my first time and I needed hand-holding. The service was explained and they kept in touch, without pressure, to see how things were going. Because they were first in memory I kept going back to them with questions. On the day of sending the money I called with the current market rates and got a great rate. The process was simple, clear and above all safe.
Great process, great people, great service would be my summary

I live in the US and was buying a house in France when Smart Currency Exchange was recommended to me. They made the transaction from dollars to Euros, fast and seamless. Rory was the trade manager I worked with. He was very helpful in explaining the costs and benefits of working with SCE. The fluctuation in currency prices can make transactions abroad more costly than they need to be, whether in lost interest or rate of exchange. Knowing the details of the exchange is important. When a money wire I sent came in late they stayed in the office to make sure it got to the notary on time. I will be using them in the future and recommending them to friends.

I was moving abroad and needed to convert a large sum of money at a particular point in time, but was never quite sure when that time would be (house sale and purchase is always tricky and uncertain). Danny Cook was my main contact and he really took the time to explain all my options and made sure I understood exactly what I had to do and when. Everything went really smoothly and effortlessly from there on, and it was super-easy to set up the payments online myself afterwards.

The entire team at Smart Currency Exchange is awesome to work with. I primarily interacted with Rory H. He is very proactive and responsive throughout the process. There is a huge peace of mind knowing I’m talking with another genuine human rather than a robot. Keep up the great work team !

Rory was incredible and kept me updated and explained the process to me in a way I could understand. At 82 and not being technical this is difficult in today, but Rory went above and beyond explaining any worries I had. Thank you Rory.
