Services for Private Individuals

Whatever reason you have for exchanging currency, whether it's to buy a second home, emigrate or import a car, The Currency People can save you money and take the worry out of organising the transfer.

We are able to offer exchange rates that the banks struggle to beat. In addition to this, we can offer various options on when and how you should exchange the currency. With some careful planning, you can ensure the cost of the currency stays within your budget.

When you choose to exchange currency with us, we'll explain in jargon-free English how the process works and keep you informed every step of the trade.

Show Me How to Get Started

Buying Property

Buying a property overseas usually involves putting down a deposit then sending the balance a few months later. In that time between the payments, the exchange rate will have moved, meaning that your second payment could end up costing you more than you budgeted for.

The Currency People has a solution to prevent this. By buying a 'forward contract' you lock in the exchange rate up to two years into the future, so when you come to make that payment months ahead, you know how much it will cost you.

When you have bought your currency, we will send it to your required destination free of charge (subject to our terms and conditions).

Emigration

When emigrating abroad, you will want to transfer your savings to the new country. The Currency People will ensure you get a great exchange rate and will deposit your money overseas the same day.

Importing

When buying a car or yacht overseas, you will often need to pay for it in a foreign currency. Using The Currency People will ensure you get the best value for your currency exchange.
