Pressure to make a quick decision
Pressure to make a quick decision, combined with an unfavourable exchange rate and a lack of transparency regarding the fee embedded in the transaction rate. Be Aware!

When you want to be sure your money is in safe hands
When you want to be sure your money is in safe hands especially with large amounts you have to trust a currency exchange company. There is no other company I’d trust more than smart currency to perform this service. Matt has been there every step of the way even when we suffered delays. A fantastic service I highly recommend.

Buying property abroad
I had a telephone call from Rhys explained everything in detail and gave both options of currency exchange and I took the one that that was best for me. The company does everything for you so you have nothing to worry about and know your money is in safe hands. Recommend by my estate agent she uses them all the time. Well deserved 5 *

Matthew was as patient as he was helpful. And he was VERY helpful. Three of us in three different countries in three different time zones (all of them different from Matthew's own) and Matthew was able to make it all happen and he did so quickly, efficiently and always in good humo(u)r.

I used Smart after a recommendation for when I was buying an apartment in Spain. With such big money being transferred I was quite scared. Matthew was amazing and calmed me down on numerous phone calls. He liaised with my solicitor in Spain.
The sale went ahead and I now have my dream apartment.
I would recommend Smart to anyone else in a similar situation.
I knew my money would be safe.
Huge thanks to Matthew and the fantastic team.
Alison from Stafford.

Excellent service from SmartCurrencyExchange
We have just sold our apartment in Spain & our estate agent Mikhaila from Riviera Rentals recommended we talk to Sonia atSmart Currency exchange. Sonia , in turn put us through to Alistair Archbold who works from the London office . Alistair was very helpful from the start & explained the process to us . He kept us updated with the exchange rates & kept in daily contact with us on how the market was going . Alistair was very professional and helpful from beginning to end of our money transfer . We would strongly recommend to everyone we know to use Smart Currency Exchange , thank you again to Sonia & Sashlin at the Calahonda office but most importantly to Alistair Archbold for his constant reassurance making the process very easy . David & Rosemarie Snow.

Hassle free transactions
Smart Currency exchanges were involved in the money side of our property in France for over 12 months. They were very helpful from the start, gave good advice and called back every time on schedule. Their advice was advisory and not pushy. Would highly recommend them, particularly if you want to get a great deal now, but action it later on.

Super helpful staff and easy to use.
Have been using Smart for years now, but recently had to set up a new account and they couldn’t have made it easier for me, Super helpful folks that patiently talked me through every step.
The Portal is easy to use and the combination of passwords and 2FA keep my account secure.
