Helpful tool to be improved

I used the FXCompare site few times with mixed results. It is difficult to rank your results or at least not very straightforward. Using their direct quotation request button never end up having the FX firm calling back or answering me. I had to open the specific company website and request a quotation through them, which usually resulted in a worse deal.

Overall a good tool to spot the companies that are among the top 5 best deals. From there it is up to the client to find out which is the company that offers the best service at the best price.

FANTASTIC!

Effortless transaction from beginning to end. From registering account, uploading documents, making an order, payment and transferring the funds, it was quick and simple. Best rates possible (Yes I checked) and no fees! I had my reservations (as I have never transferred funds overseas before) but will definitely use HiFX again!

Very happy with money transfer abroad

I have recently moved to europe and sold my flat in the UK. Using FXcompared, I was able to ask them to transfer the money when the rate reached a particular level saving me alot of money compared to using a bank transfer. The staff were very friendly and helpful, I would use them again!

Good interpersonal communication

For this transaction, time was of the essence with several steps that were required. This included opening a new account. There was always prompt response to all questions and prompt execution.

A very friendly,reliable and hassle free experience with fantastic exchange rates.

I would highy reccomend FX Compared for anyone exchanging foreign currency or transferring abroad. In my experience they are a 100% totally reliable company who give the best rates and make your transaction hassle free.
All of the staff at FX have been more than polite and helpful, especially Sam the very pleasant guy i speak to normally. I cannot speak highly enough of FX Compared and would strongly advise giving them a call.
Many thanks to all at FX.
Andy.
