Having received an excellent service from Optimal in 2021, I decided to trust them again in 2026. A different broker, but the same attitude and dedication to service. I could not be happier!

Exemplary client support from the simple easy account sign-up all the way through to transfer of funds. Also provided reasurrance and documentation for AML that gave us immediate peace of mind when transeffring funds from sale of overseas property.
We had to transfer money to France to complete a house purchase and used Optimal Currency through a recommendation from our estate agents. They provide a very personalised service with competitive transfer rates. We worked with James who was helpful and communicative at all times. I would highly recommend using them and will continue to do so moving forwards. Their method of buying the currency on order and letting you settle the balance afterwards means you can get a guaranteed rate with no hidden surprises. Do not be fooled by the seemingly cheaper online companies as most don't guarantee rates and I am old fashioned and like to pick the phone up and talk directly to a person. Thanks again James and the team for smooth transactions.
Great customer service. Kept well informed through the process. Would recommend.
I was recommended to David Bayliss and can certainly forward on the same recommendation. David’s assistance, advise and support has been nothing other than professional and seamless, I wouldn’t hesitate in using his services again!
Thank you David for making an important procedure straightforward and stress free!
Much thanks to David and James. Two stellar individuals. They made the process of converting dollars to euros and transferring the funds to Italy easy. I was quite concerned about this step of the process in buying our family's dream home in Italy, but Optimal Currency made it smooth and affordable with a great conversion rate. David was always willing to respond to my emails or jump on a call to alleviate my concerns and walk me through the process. Again thank you and a Merry Christmas!
Very efficient personal service- first enquiry to completion of deal in less than 24 hours
This was the second time we used Optimal Currency to handle our large sum currency exchanges. David is always responsive and super helpful. Everything went smoothly and quickly. Thank you!
Excellent service from start to finish, can not recommend enough.
David Bayliss was fantastic and ensured my requirements were all met in a timely fashion and cost effectively.
David and the Optimal Team and trustworthy and extremely professional. I will use them again in a heartbeat.
I was recommended by a friend to use this company and I'm so glad I did. The service was highly professional, trustworthy and courteous from the first phone to the last email. Thank you, James and David, for your excellent service.
