Larger transfers: get the best exchange rates

Whether you're buying or selling a property overseas, moving abroad of simply making an international investment, fluctuating exchange rates can make a huge difference to the amount you final receive in your bank account. 

Highly tailored to your individual requirements, simple, fast and cost-effective, if you’re transferring £20,000 or more, HiFX gives you access to your own dedicated currency specialist who will get to know you and your individual requirements. 

Unlike your bank, they spend the time and effort to understand your needs and how exchange rate fluctuations affect you. They are also more effective at communicating relevant market moves and making you aware of economic factors which are likely to impact the exchange rate.  With each member of the team servicing fewer clients than a bank, they provide a level of proactivity and personal service that the established banks find too resource intensive.

HiFX also beats the banks on price, as well as service. Every month, HiFX checks all the main high street bank and building society exchange rates to make sure that its overall price (including banking charges, exchange rates and other fees) is better. You can compare its rates to those offered by banks and other companies in the table below.
