Easy Transactions
Easy to set up an account and then follow-up from a Currencies Direct case manager. Easy to transfer money with no fees and a good exchange rate
Germaine Boselli was so very helpful…
Germaine Boselli was so very helpful when I phoned her the other day to receive a refund from my Spanish lawyer. Germaine went through the stages step by step and gave me exactly what was needed. I couldn’t be more grateful. The service and staff member was great. Thank you Germaine Boselli at Currancies Direct
Reliable, good rates, prompt service
Megan Reeve my account manager, was helpful as ever in securing me a good exchange rate for a sizeable transfer. She has come up trumps, again!

Long turn around times and poor service
My experience with CD was overwhelmingly negative. Long turn around times and sloppy service. In the end I had to request a different broker (something Ive never had to do before). I’ll never use them again

Fabulous service
When using currencie direct I have found them to be extremely helpful and polite. Nothing too much trouble. Today suzanne.mahankal was exceptional
Exceptional service for a nervous first time user
It was the fist time I’d used a currency exchange company and I was a bit nervous. The team were so helpful and patient with me and took me through all the steps, and basically made me feel completely reassured throughout the exchange process.
I received great support from an extremely friendly and professional team.
Grace Hood helped me a lot
Grace Hood helped me a lot, the experience is positive because of her amazing help and understanding.
Kieran was professional
Kieran was professional, responsive, and clear in his communication throughout a large and somewhat complex cross-border transfer. He was accessible by phone and email whenever I needed him, explained the process well, and worked with me to reach a rate I was comfortable with. The transfer itself was handled smoothly and the funds moved on schedule. I'd be glad to work with him again on future transfers.
Totally recommend currencies direct
Totally recommend currencies direct, especially Jeremy who was both friendly and incredibly professional, a highly secured transaction giving me peace of mind and securing me a great exchange rate many thanks
Responsive, pragmatic, and commercially focused
I've been really impressed with the service from Jeremy Warr at Currencies Direct. From the outset he was consistently responsive — quick to reply, easy to reach, and never left me chasing for updates. What stood out most was his pragmatic, human approach: he didn't just execute transfers, he gave practical advice that helped me manage the project and time things to optimise the commercial outcome, which made a real difference.
Jeremy was professional throughout, and just as importantly, he made sure I wasn't left without support when he was away — he arranged for someone else on the team to step in, so there was never a gap in service. Every other person I dealt with, including the compliance team, gave me the same assurance of professionalism and a genuine focus on getting the best outcome for the client.
Excellent rates and service
Currencies direct were easy to use and Jeremy Warr who we dealt with was easy to contact responsive and helpful. As good a rate as anywhere
Satisfaction
I was recommended to use you by a friend and found the process quite straightforward. I particularly liked the fact that I could get to speak to an advisor easily who was very helpful and patient on the several times we spoke. The transaction process was explained and worked smoothly for my case. In addition the conversion rate was better than the company I had been using
Clarity
Today I needed help with the procedure for transferring monies.The company’s representative, Vishnu was most helpful and polite and dealt with my query promptly.
Can be trusted!
First, this company can be trusted. When I sold my house in Alicante the money was transferred without problems. Second, they have a very high service level. They called me on multiple occasions to explain how things works and what will happen. Finally, since I am a Swede they allocated native Swedish speaking staff to manage our relationship. Flawless!
Having a person to talk with on the…
Having a person to talk with on the phone and discuss process and details. Grace was very good at contacting me particularity with the time difference here in New Zealand.
Good staff, Mr Eathan Carne
I recently had cause to have interactions with Currencies Direct. The gentleman who helped me enormously, Mr Eathan Carne, was very helpful. I'm not great at technology and Mr Carne was very patient guiding me through this. Friendly and I would recommend him to other clients. Knowledgeable at his job. He was able to answer all of my questions. Several phone conversations through July 2026 till transfer of funds. Cheers Mrs Annita Munday.

I can’t speak highly enough of this…
I can’t speak highly enough of this company. What started as a simple reason to pay for a vintage vehicle in America turned into a complete nightmare with my bank HSBC. Not only did they block the transaction but tried to charge huge amounts of exchange rate commission!
Along came Megan Lee from Currencies direct to my rescue, one call, two emails, sorted, seller received monies and was very happy having suffered delays with UK institutions. Excellent service thank you.
Helpful staff
I find the processes not intuitive but the staff very helpful and knowledgable
