Use a Currency Dealer for your Business Transfers Overseas

It’s likely that you’ve already used our Currency transfer services for your own personal use.

Maybe you bought, or sold, a property overseas, or you need to regularly transfer money to pay for bills abroad. Some of our clients just use us to occasionally transfer their wages.

However, few are aware that we have busy section to our business that deals entirely with business transfers.

Why use a currency broker, rather than your business bank, to make transfers overseas?

They are all the same reasons that you used us in the first place!

  • We offer better exchange rates
  • We transfer to most countries for FREE
  • We are currency exchange professionals.

Currency exchange is all we do, so we are well positioned to aid your business. We don’t just save you money on costs. We help you to make money by aiding you to manage your business risk better.

How do we help you to manage your business risk when trading overseas?

Fluctuations in local currency can have an impact on your profit. If unfavourable changes in currency levels occur between your decision to commit to a contract, and when you have to pay for it, then your business will lose margin.

There’s a simple remedy. Buy a time option forward currency contract and fix the rates for a reasonable period. This could be for the duration between your tender acceptance and the moment when you may have to pay for goods or services. Your profit margin is then fixed and you can go about your business… what you do best.

We can also help by micro-managing the currency purchases that you make. We don’t charge for this service, it’s what we do all of the time for clients! We can then alert you when the rate has come close, or achieved, to what you desire.

Payroll services for staff overseas.

We have many business clients who now ask us to make the payroll transfers for staff overseas, each month. Some are happy to simply make the payment on a particular date each month, but most prefer us to keep an eye on the rate for them with a one-week window at the end of the month. We then contact our clients as soon as the rate seems to have peaked, so that they can take advantage of the best rates available. This isn’t something a bank offers.

In addition to Free currency transfers, we offer:

  • Better exchange rates than the banks
  • A dedicated currency dealer
  • A Rate Watch service

If you are already using us for your currency exchange, consider how much we could help your business to retain profits in these difficult times.

Please contact your local currency dealer FX-Foreignexchange here to discuss our business services further.

Pay Your Initial Property Deposit with a Card

How to beat the currency exchange system with credit card payments on property purchases.

Pay your overseas property deposit with a credit, or debit, card and get a better rate of exchange than you would by using the card abroad.

If you find yourself in the fortunate position of being able to buy that property abroad, and you need to place a deposit on the property to secure the one you want, then there is an answer.

Pay your initial deposit with your debit, or credit, card.

However, before you get too excited, consider this. I was in Spain recently and used my UK Bank debit card to draw some Euros at the “Hole in the wall”. I drew money on two consecutive days. The exchange rate between the pound and the euro had barely altered, but one bank gave me 1.19 euros to the pound. The other bank gave a rate of 1.23 euros to the pound. If, like me, you suffer from terrible thirst when it’s hot and you need £200 to pay for the drinks, the difference is €8. “Just €8!” I hear you say.

Well change that figure of £200 to £3000 as a house deposit and the difference between one bank’s foreign exchange rate and the other’s is now €120. Not a huge amount, but still worth saving.

FX-Foreignexchange have a facility, through their currency exchange partners, where you can now pay your initial deposit to secure a property abroad by using your debit or credit card. You get an even better rate than the banks can offer. It’s a safe way to pay and painless.

Just call FX-Foreignexchange on 0044 (0)1480 458400, (or email for them to contact you from here) , register your details with them, give them the details of where you want your deposit to go, and they take the payment in your local currency, change it, and send it to the account you’ve asked for it to be sent to.

Paying your overseas property deposit couldn’t be easier. You may even want to spend the money you save on a special dinner to celebrate how clever you are!

A couple of little things, FX-Foreignexchange can’t take card payments over £10,000, and they can’t take less than £2500. On the basis that most initial deposits for new homes abroad are €3,000, or £2,500, this shouldn’t present a problem.

The other area to consider is if you use the same company to change your further stage payments, the difference when using my example, is €1,200 when you change £30,000.

That’s a bit more interesting than the €8 I saved!

Exchange Your Pounds for Canadian $’s

Money Transfer from the UK to Canada

There are many ways to transfer your money from the UK to Canada. In the past, most people have called their own bank and asked them to change their GB Pounds to Canadian Dollars. Currently, there are so many more cost effective ways to do this.

If you choose to use your bank, it’s likely that they will not necessarily:

  1. Grant you the best rate of exchange available at that moment
  2. They are likely to charge you a commission
  3. They will almost definitely charge a fee for making the money transfer to Canada

If you knew about a way to save on each of the 3 areas, it’s likely you would use it, especially, as the foreign exchange specialists are usually faster than the high street banks as it’s all they do!

Some Expats, or second home buyers, in Canada simply open an account with Barclays bank, as they allow the client to have accounts in Canadian Dollars and GB Pounds.

  • The advantage of doing this is you have flexibility to move the money between your accounts when the currency exchange rate suits you.
  • The disadvantages are that Barclays don’t have as many branches as Canada’s own local main banks in the cities. And, you are unlikely to get a great rate of exchange each time you switch between accounts.

Foreign exchange specialists, like fx-foreignexchange.com are now the more likely route for a second property buyer, or expat, to use for larger currency transfers from the UK to Canada. They already have an account with Barclays in Canada and the UK.

The advantages of using FX-Foreignexchange to exchange your £’s to Canadian Dollars are:

  • The service is safe and swift.
  • They generally offer a better rate of exchange (Saving thousands on larger transactions).
  • They don’t charge a commission.
  • They don’t charge a fee to transfer the money.
  • You can also set a rate of exchange that you are prepared to deal at, and FX-Foreignexchange will contact you when the currencies meet that figure so you can buy at the best rate of exchange.

The disadvantage, when compared to a high street bank, is difficult to see as there doesn’t appear to be one!

If you are looking to exchange GB Pounds into Canadian Dollars, call FX-Foreignexchange on +44 (0)1480 458400 for a quote, or simply ask for an explanation on how to save money when transferring abroad.

Or go to the fx-foreignexchange site
