Your high street bank offers foreign exchange as part of its service.
At HiFX we’re focused on doing one thing exceptionally well.
Highly tailored to your individual requirements, simple, fast and cost-effective, if you’re making larger transfers, our
telephone based foreign exchange service gives you access to your own dedicated dealer who will get to know you and your individual requirements.
With each dealer servicing fewer clients than a bank, we provide a level of proactivity and personal service that the established banks find too resource intensive.
Transfer with HiFX now. For smaller amounts, take advantage of the highly competitive exchange rates available via our
online international money transfer service .
Don’t let the banks cash in on your international money transfers.
Every month we check all main high street bank and building society exchange rates to make sure our overall price (including banking charges, exchange rates and other fees) is better.
Compare us to your bank and we are confident we will not be beaten.
