Regulated payment partners, authorised in their operating jurisdictions, execute every transfer.

Wherever you’re buying, today’s payment isn’t the only one that matters.

Deposit, instalments, completion, the rate can move between each one. One relationship manager plans the whole schedule with you, whichever country you’re buying in.

A high street transfer only sees the payment in front of it. CurrencyTransfer shows you your rate against the mid-market rate before you commit, and can fix it for up to 12 months ahead where a forward contract suits your purchase.

How it works

  1. Open

    Free, in minutes. You’re assigned a relationship manager who knows your purchase and your payment dates.

  2. Add

    Your relationship manager adds your lawyer’s, notary’s or developer’s account as a payee, ready for when a payment’s due.

  3. Book

    When a payment’s due, log in, get a live quote against the mid-market rate, and book it.

  4. Arrive

    Funds go out the same day if cleared before 2pm. CurrencyTransfer never touches your money at any point.

Get Started

CurrencyTransfer provides the platform and the people; our regulated payment partners execute the transfers and hold the funds throughout.

Before you buy

Wherever you’re buying. One relationship manager plans the payments around your purchase, whatever the country and whatever currency you’re sending.
That’s normal, completion and instalment dates move all the time. Your relationship manager adjusts the plan with you, and if you’ve already fixed a rate with a forward contract, they’ll talk you through what moving the date involves.
Yes. Regulated payment partners execute every transfer and CurrencyTransfer never holds your money. Always confirm your lawyer’s or developer’s account details by phone, on a number you already know, before every payment.

Why people buy abroad

  • Buy a holiday home

    You found the place on a weekend trip, paid the deposit before you’d even unpacked. Months later, when the balance was due, we made sure the rate hadn’t moved on you.

  • Retiring abroad

    You sold up, said your goodbyes, and moved your whole life a thousand miles away, pension included. We’ve kept it arriving the same, year after year, ever since.

  • Property investment

    You ran the numbers before you bought, the rent against the costs, the costs against the yield. We’ve made sure every payment since has landed the way you modelled it.

“Wonderful combo of being able to do everything easily online plus human help just a phone call away. I needed a hand with a couple of things and the real humans were super helpful in sorting everything out and enabling me to transfer funds at a great rate.”
