A big thank you

we recently sold our house in Spain to relocate back to the UK, this company was amazing. We were kept well informed about every procedure, how it worked and all the staff we spoke to were so helpful and friendly. A very professional company and we would have no hesitation at all in recommending their services.
Thank you very much, Stephanie

No respect to GDPR

The website is outdated, so according to the website info, I thought one of their service is available, I filled all the information and send them copies of my bank statement and ID card. However, after long time they told me the service is no longer available. They could have show the information when I filling the on-line form already, apparently the system is not up to date by their maintenance and backstage engineer.

The worst situation came later, I request them to delete my personal data from their end according to GDPR, they promised to do so. Yet after 1 email sent and 3 times of calling. They still haven't done so. I feel they are kind of fraud company being honest.

Hope this review can raise an alarm for people who is considering FC exchange.

Satisfied client

I have recently used F.C. Exchange to transfer currency into the UK following a property sale. Lauren was my allocated broker. She was easy to contact, extremely helpful and was able to answer any questions I had. The currency transaction was completed quickly and without any problems. I would definitely use this company again.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand you have been liaising with our complaints department who have been able to resolve this matter for you and provide explanations for the concerns you had. Unfortunately as explained we aren't able to foresee charges our customers may incur by the recipient or intermediary bank, the charges you experienced were not charges made by FC Exchange.

I do very much hope we have been able to rebuild your trust in our service and would consider using our services again in the future.

Kind regards,

FC Exchange

Excellent service throughout.

Excellent service, cannot be beaten.
Very patient staff (especially Sam Edmanson) who understood my needs and talked thought the best way to pay for and transfer funds efficiently. Recommended by Money Saving Expert as one of the best currency exchange companies and I fully concur with this. Always available on the end of a phone or by email.
Would not hesitate to recommend.

It's a total con

It's a total con, you do not get the rate on the live fc exchange site, or advertised as "amount received" on comparison sites. They say no fees, but clearly take a hidden fee. The guy on the phone gave me a classic sales approach. I guess some people are fooled by this. I received a much better rate from another company that was more transparent.

Professional approach and fast transfer

Excellent work done by Charlie. He called me directly in Australia to ensure that everything was taken care of directly. He was prompt with responding to my questions, and was professional. Very much put my mind at ease, especially in light of my concerns about exchanging such a large amount of money.
When the time came to make the transfer it was very quick; it arrived in my bank account in less than a day.
Highly recommended.

Professional and Reliable

I have used FC Exchange and in particular Sam Edmanson, for a variety of fx transactions with great results. All staff/branches of the company are professional and strive to get the best rates for their customers, and I am pleased with the level of security and ease of use of the client account access online.

Fast yet patient and proffessional.

Very nice people, personal and patient. Although I don't reside in the UK, they called me. They explained the procedure and after registration we agreed on a rate. Next they send me a email confirmation. You then transfer the money. Although the money (in my case) was going through 3 different countries, I got my currency in 3-4 business days. I don't think it can be any simpler.

Kudos to Daryl, who was a great helpl!

First time at FC Exchange

FC Exchange was favourably reviewed on compare websites so I tried them out. Opening an account online was very easy indeed. Telephone communications were professional and friendly to confirm my requirements. My call to deal was handled smoothly and professionally. I hadn't been expecting to negotiate a rate but ended up doing this when I turned down first rate offer. So, I recommend you have rate in mind when you call to deal. Once rate was agreed everything went through instantly. Very professional, very easy and I have no complaints whatever.

A pleasure doing business with FC Exchange

From beginning to end, the process of transferring over the proceeds of our house sale to Europe was very smooth. As soon as I signed up with FC Exchange, I was allocated an advisor, Lauren, who was extremely knowledgeable on the money markets. She expertly guided me on the current status of the markets, so that I could make an informed decision on when best to make my transfer. If I need to make further currency transfers, FC Exchange will be the company I turn to, and I am happy to 100% recommend them.

Thank you Lauren for all your guidance, I've definitely learnt something about the money markets.

Superb experience

We have just used FC exchange to send money to Spain to buy a house. Lauren Bessent was superb. She managed to secure a really good rate when the market was volatile. I would recommend highly. I was worried initially but had no need, Lauren was superb all the way through. She'd answer emails & calls immediately. When she was on holiday she kept me informed & her colleague was in touch. I would definitely use them again. Thanks
