This company are really excellent to deal with. Not only are the exchange rates very good but the service I received was faultless! The buyback service was also perfect - I was kept informed all along... See more

Received a very good buy back rate
Received a very good buy back rate. Simply posted the currency back and the payment was paid about a week later.
Simple!
Used this currency exchange service…
Used this currency exchange service twice now and the process has been faultless. Currency has arrived within 24 hours, and buy back service prompt and effective. Currency rates seem reasonably competitive. Will use again.
Can’t fault
Can’t fault, easy to follow instructions, good rate, quick turnaround and fund received within 5wd would recommend and use again
Excellent Service
Cannot fault them, they offer the best rates for currency and buy back if you have any left. Have used them several times, all good.
Excellent rate of exchange
Excellent rate of exchange, speedy service, quick and efficient buy-back.
Great service
Great service, very quick and very reliable. Have now used on two separate occasions.
Best rates
I've worked with them multiple times now and they consistently have the best rates. Everything has always been paid within the 3 business-day time frame they give. I don't see myself using any other exchange service as long as COG is around.

I always use these guys for buying and selling back unused currency.
Reliable, on time as promised, never had an issue and great rates. Highly recommend

Ease of cashing in of obsolete currency like I did with the Dirhams I purchased many years ago and safe secure transaction
Very officiant
Very officiant, professional, helpful and patient. Best exchange rate and straight to the point. 100% recommend
Collected my dollars and returned the…
Collected my dollars and returned the balance after the holiday. The website for calculating the returned amount was awful. Apparently they are updating the website. But money was in my account the next day. So my experience is better than others I have read about.
Misleading Exchange Rate for Cash Orders
I placed a Cash order for Japanese yen yesterday (2nd Oct) for collection at their Waterloo branch today at the rate of just over £1 = 178JPY. The order confirmation stated:
"Your current collection date, 03/10/2023, from 2:00 pm"
Beneath it, it states: "Exchange rate will be held for 2 hours after which the exchange rate at the time of collection maybe given."
The statement above is also what it states on their website - I interpreted that information as the rate I ordered will be honoured within the 2hrs of my collection date & time.
I arrive to collect the currency before 3pm on collection day (today), and the customer service agent stated that I will be charged with the exchange rate at the current moment of collection which turns out to be just over £1 = 176JPY - lower than what I ordered.
When I queried this, the agent informed that the "Exchange rate will be held for 2 hours" refers to the time of when the order was placed, NOT when it is to be collected.
Given that I place a cash order, and the earliest they offer collection is at least from the next day onwards, the exchange rate I ordered will never be honoured and I will always be charged with the rate at collection. The information on their website and on the order confirmation is not clear and I found to be misleading for me.
Had I known this, I would never had used COG and would have went with Sterling FX - as the exchange rate of JPY is on a daily decline recently.
I had a really poor experience and I will never trust nor use COG again.

I had reservations but they did what they said they would do.
I will use these guys in the future. Superb no hassle service.
Thank you
First time using this company for…
First time using this company for holiday money but can't fault them at all. Buying process was easy and next day delivery with royal mail was brilliant. We also used the buy back service which was a little confusing to use at first but was sorted straight away by Sam. Much better buy back rate than post office ect. Will definitely use again.
Efficient and best rates
Simple
Simple, easy, good communication, quick transfer and best rate I could find.
All perfect
All perfect, super professional, I wish they had my details saved to avoid putting all the information multiple times when I do multiple operations, the rest perfect.
Thank you for your reliable
Thank you for your reliable, efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended.
Moroccan Dirams life saver
We failed to exchange our Moroccan Dirams before leaving the country, so were delighted to find a company that would exchange them. The process was very easy and the rate of exchange good.
Usually Good
I have been using this Company for a few years now and have always found them to be honest and efficient.
My only slight reserve in my recent purchase from them is that their exchange rate was not as competitive as previously and was only a few dollars more than M&S.
