  • The exchange rates we offer fall in between the Inter-bank rate (the truest exchange rate) and the rate offered by high street banks and Bureau de Changes, thus under-cutting the banks and passing that saving on to you in the form of great rates.

    The rates on our site are updated very regularly, but must be viewed as indicative only. To get you the best rates, we canvass the market on your behalf, add a small margin (which is smaller than the banks) to the rates we obtain and pass that rate on to you.

  • Our site uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL), 128 bit encryption to protect your transaction details. 128 bit encryption is the latest and strongest data encryption techniques commercially available for securing information between you our client and our website.

    You can verify our sites use of SSL in two places, by the user of “s” in https in the address bar of the site and by the padlock in you status bar at the bottom of your web browser.
