Here are a few testimonials we've received recently:

Thank you very much for the shipping of my currency. Your company certainly made the whole process very easy and simple. The personal phone calls were a lovely gesture and put my mind at rest over the risk of your company not being a bona fida one. It is always difficult these days to know if you trust all the sites you find on a web search, especially as I had not seen your company advertised in newspapers like the Connexion or French Paper which are sold here in France for expats.

I will definitely recommend your company to my friends and intend to take your business cards to my next meeting of LOLA (Ladies only Luncheon association) which I organise on Thursday. We have 20 members. Thank you once again, Sandra Ball

I was very nervous about using this service as large amounts of money were involved. I was completely reassured by a proficient and professional service. Your rates are very good in comparison with other exchange companies. Also the process of getting the money to the recipient in France was seamless with excellent communication. I found it very easy to use, the company very helpful, very smooth currency exchange.
-L.A

I have been very impressed by this organization. All personnel (especially James and Victoria) have been most helpful. Recently a property sale in France fell through but the organization was most helpful in guiding me through various processes. I hope to use Smart in future.

HOW will Smart Currency Exchange Save YOU Money when moving it to and from France?


Rather than you having to accept an uncompetitive fixed rate from your bank or other financial institution, at Smart we call the currency trading floors directly to negotiate an excellent euro exchange or any other currency exchange rate on your behalf. This alone can save you £ 000's.

Aside from getting better-than-bank currency exchange rates from Smart...you have the option to realise incredible savings and reduce the risk of adverse currency fluctuations by fixing a rate for your currency requirements today for a purchase in the future (up to 6 months). This means that if you have an international payment that costs £100,000 today (perhaps for a property) you can ensure that payment stays at £100,000 rather than increasing to, say, £105,000 by next week or by next month due to the exchange rate moving against you. By calling us, we can secure the rate for you so that you don't run the risk of increasing costs.

Additionally we can truly offer you the best rates on the market because, unlike other organisations such as banks, with large offices, huge sales forces, enormous marketing costs and many different industry specialists, we have low overheads. In order to provide you with a truly exceptional service (low rates coupled with relevant educational information and resources) we maintain standard offices, have currency specialists dedicated to your international payment needs only and use word-of-mouth and non-traditional (low-cost but high-impact) marketing.

Furthermore, we are the only currency exchange company in the UK that does NOT pay our currency traders on commission - that means that the Smart specialist that you speak to is not motivated to get the best deal for their pocket rather than the best deal for you. This is how YOU will get a great SERVICE and exceptional SAVINGS!

How Does Smart Manage to Charge NO Fees/NO Commission


Or should I write, "How do we make our money if we're not charging any commission or fees?"

We make our money the same way the bank does - we buy currency in bulk and then sell it on with a small margin. Unlike banks that add 3-5% margin, we can usually stay below 1%. In the end, you save money, we get paid for our great service and the banks exploit one less person!

Please note, however, that transactions under £3,000 do require a small administrative fee for processing.

Smart Client Feedback: I would like to thank you for your services in changing some pounds into euros and transferring them over to me here in France. A friend in London recommended you to me, and gave me your website address. This was very easy to use and I particularly liked your currency converter and the ease of emailing you. A Smart representative (James) phoned me within half an hour of receiving my email and started to explain the procedure and answered my questions to a degree that I could make an informed decision as to when to change the money.

Once I had decided, the procedure was very quick and efficient, and I will certainly use you again in the future and recommend you. I also find the Smart currency report emailed each week very useful and informative. A great tool when living abroad and having to deal with sterling/euro transfers from time to time. Why didn't Britain join the Euro zone with the rest of Europe? It would have made life a lot easier! Denise Mackenzie


HOW Does Smart Currency Exchange Help YOU To Reduce The Risk of YOUR International Payments Increasing by £ 000's


Depending on your particular situation, you may want to consider the option of securing a currency exchange rate now for an international payment in the future (e.g. for a property purchase, staged payments or to repatriate funds back to the UK). Doing so will allow you to set a budget, thus knowing the exact exchange rate you'll be required to pay rather than having to watch the currency markets (and the cost of your international payment) increase. Nothing is worse than the stress of knowing your payment is increasing. And since the rates change every few seconds on the live market, it's enough to make anyone's stomach turn!

Your dedicated Smart Trader will offer you assistance with planning a strategy that's right for you. To get a better understanding of why to use this option, consider how Smart helped Mr and Mrs Lee to save themselves £4,500:

"Mr & Mrs Lee were due to transfer £325,000 in the middle of the month. They identified a realistic rate of €1.47 to the £1 that they wanted to achieve. Two weeks prior to making the transfer, we called to notify them that the rate had hit €1.47 and suggested that they reserve the money as soon as possible. Fortunately, Mr & Mrs Lee reserved the rate they desired. On the day of the transfer, the rate was 2 cents lower which equates to a massive saving of £4,500."

When calling Smart to discuss your particular requirements, we can offer you specialist information that will allow you to make smart decisions about your money. We watch the different currencies strengthen and weaken day after day, thus we're in a position to give you an honest insight as to how the markets have been performing and what the economists predict the future will hold. No one can foresee the future of any particular foreign currency exchange rate. However, having the ability to discuss the facts about economic changes, world influences and currency trends with a Smart specialist will allow you to make an educated decision.
