I am/was a complete novice with international payments so needless to say very cautious with what I believed given it was going to be a substantial amount to purchase a property. I spoke to the FCA and checked that the details I had for a place in the sun were correct and a reputable company, this checked out and I used the contact details the FCA gave to make contact (which were correct to the advertised website). I spoke to a chap named Ashley who explained everything in detail, which enabled me to proceed with confidence. To my relief Everything worked out as originally explained. Ashley has done everything he could have done to guide me and I cannot thank him enough for his great professional service. I wish him and the company all the best for the future. I will use them again in a heart beat.

Kian was absolutely brilliant to deal with, would definitely recommend, very professional.
Peter Brown

Amazing service from start to finish. First time I've used a service like this as purchasing a property abroad. They kindly explained everything and held my hand every step of the way. Very worrying time as changing and transferring such a large amount of money but they made it so easy. Highly recommended.

I had previouly struggled to find a reliable way to transfer funds to my bank account in France. Kian was brilliant. He explained the whole process clearly with a friendly and approachable manner. I like that you can agree the exchange rate and be certain that this is the rate used. The process was completed securely and I have full confidence that I got the best rate possible. I will most definitely be using A Place in the Sun Currency for all my future currency transfers.

A huge thank you to A Place in the Sun Currency Senior Currency Consultant Nick Harrison for his support with currency conversion for our recent purchase in Spain. This was a process we knew nothing about when purchasing abroad; however, the company supported us with the transfer and ultimately save money.

A great service nothing was too much trouble
Stephen mutchell

Extremely pleased with the way our transfers went. From the moment we said yes, for them to arrange our transfer, we did very little they sorted everything out for us. Fantastic service.

Matt was a great help in us securing our house in Spain with a forward plan that secured our property and exchange rate, saving us a great deal. Thank you and we will always recommend you.
Colin

Great customer service from Nick Harrison helped us all the way to purchase and transfer money to buy our dream holiday home in spain thank you Nick for all your help in making the process easy safe and secure would definitely recommend!

Nick our agent supported us every step of the way through a process which we aren’t familiar with. The service is very quick and efficient with checks all along the way to ensure your money is going to the right place. The rates we achieved were very competitive which this makes a massive difference when large sums are involved. We will be using A Place in The Sun Currency for all our future currency transfers.

I was recommended APITSC Ltd, and it has saved us so much money on our house purchase in Spain. Ashley Finell was our dedicated consultant and helped us navigate the currency purchase and transfer of funds abroad, whilst removing all of the stress that is associated with a system you have never used before. Like English Banks, everything has to be checked against fraud and nothing can be transferred abroad until they are satisfied. I have made several transactions over the last three months and the service continues to be first class ( even contacting me when the pound/Euro hit a high, just in case I could take advantage of it). I totally recommend this Service. Thank you Ashley Finell.
Mark Fenton

Our transaction was far from straight forward, but Kian and the compliance team were efficient and rigorous in protecting the security of our money. Much appreciated. Muchas gracias!
Chris and Jean

We first met Kian at A Place in the Sun Live in Birmingham when we were already planning to buy somewhere abroad in Spain. He expalined the procedure to us and then was available on the phone for advice and planning for the currency needs of buying a Home in the sun. He expalined the pros & cons of foward purchasing currency and spot purchasing and guided our progress.

Everyone I spoke to were very helpful with all my needs in selling my property also with the transfer of funds. I would recommend this company to anyone who are in the position to do this they were very prompt and helpful regards David Crooks

We first engaged APITS when we were purchasing a property in Italy but have subsequently used them to process multiple (far more than my wallet would have liked 😉 payments to various suppliers as we undertake our renovation work. The service APITS provides is so straight forward, it must have saved us hours of effort and the rates they offer have always been competitive when compared to other providers. Financially, APITS has saved us thousands of pounds in fees and exchange rates. We have dealt with many members of the team but Matt Boyle has been our constant. They are always helpful, efficient and friendly, making what initially felt like quite a complex and intimidating process very easy for me and my partner to understand and use. Thanks Team!

I was recommended A Place in the Sun Currency Ltd, and it has saved us so much money on our house purchase overseas. Having Kian as our dedicated support helped us to navigate the transfer whilst removing all of the stress; it was so easy and I will never go back to using my bank for transfers again! Many thanks Kian and team for your support
Jennifer

Engaging A Place in the Sun Currency to help us buy our Spanish property was a great decision. A good exchange rate with no extra bank charges and a first class transparent service. Special thanks to Tom Culshaw in Spain and Nick Harrison our account in the UK
Allan Anderson

I have made several transactions throughout the year with A place in the Sun Currency as I have fulfilled a life long dream of living in France permanently. The customer service has and continues to be exemplary and is truly an easy stress free experience. I cannot recommend them enough.
Rob Adams

The process of requesting an exchange rate to then exchanging my deposit and forwarding on the money to my recipient was ever so easy. The exchange rate was also the best I could find at the time of starting the process. I totally recommend this service.
James Snowdon

I have to say they offer a fantastic efficient service with very competitive exchange rates, which can make a huge difference when purchasing a property. I can't recommend the service enough! Thank you for all your help.
Cameron

Nothing went wrong very patient and honest
