Absolutely fantastic, it is daunting task dealing with large transactions but Ashley and the team made it super easy with their calm support and efficient process. Always felt like we were working together. Definitely would recommend A place in the Sun for currency exchange

Simon helped me through a frantic time of trying to get funds from the UK to Italy around Christmas 2024 – no mean feat with mid-week Bank Holidays! The service and support he gave was fantastic – his expectation management was impeccable and he brought a sense of calm in closing the transactions effortlessly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this (and Simon’s) service – I’ll be using it again. Thank you!

My first time ever sending money overseas was made so much easier with the help of Kian Songra, my account manager who made the entire process easy to understand. He fully explained the workflow and timelines and was hugely efficient in effecting the transfer whilst ensuring all the necessary checks were in place. Excellent service!

A Place In The Sun made my property purchase in Spain an easy process. My account manager was always on hand to answer any questions I had.

I just want to recognise Kian Songra for his excellent customer service over the past 6 months. He has always been readily available to help with my currency purchases and onward payments and has been excellent with his communication. The rates I received saved me thousands of pounds on the exchange rate, I received regular up to date statements to cross check my finances and the checks they made on beneficiaries left me assured that my money was safely transferred. I will continue to use Place In The Sun Currency because of Kian Songra. from Lucy 18/02/25

I use Place in the Sun for currency transfers to Spain; Kian Songra is my account manager. We recently sold a Spain property; Kian Songra assisted with the transfer. He's professional, efficient, resourceful and a pleasure to deal with. Kian is an asset to the organisation; many thanks for the support.
Simon Barmby-Speicher

I use Place in the Sun for currency transfer to Spain. Kian Songra is hugely patient when discussing how everything works. (I have dyscalculia, which is a form of dyslexia with numbers) I never feel inadequate which is fairly rare for me when dealing with any mathematics, so huge thanks to you Kian.

Ashley Finill made my experience very easy. I was very wary when I needed to send euros from Spain to £ in uk but he was patient and communicated well. The company in my opinion can be completely trusted and make transactions go smoothly. The gave a fair rate and quick transactions always keeping you informed
Gill Essex-Crosby

Ashley Finill is always very helpful and whenever we need to make a transfer makes the process quick and as easy as possible. I have already recommended him to others and will continue to. Thanks Ashley!
Annette Colvill

very helpful and efficient service from Ashley.
Alan Prior

Highly proficient, completely security conscious, very competitive rate, and helpful . Designed a programme of transfers that iliminated bank charges in the receiving county bank.

Kian was more than helpful from start to finish. He guided us through a big transfer and made it very easy and made us feel very secure. He checked in with us constantly to make sure we were comfortable and understood what was going on. His customer service is amazing, and he was caring and compassionate. I highly recommend Kian for top rated customer service. He really made us feel like he cared.
Lynn Plummer

Fantastic service by Nick Harrison at APITS. Made the entire process easy across all transactions we made with them for our purchase. Their initial quoted rates were OK , not the most competitive but when pushed theybwere able to improve in the rates and virtually matched those of less reputable FX brokers. All in all top marks and service by Nick and the team
BART S

Everything was very straight forward, we got an excellent exchange rate and the customer service was superb. We will definitely be using this service again once we have purchased our property. Special thanks to Ashley for all his help and advice
Bri Mann

Our consultant was Simon Eastman, he was very friendly and extremely helpful. He showed great patience when things didn’t go very smoothly, mainly due to our plans frequently changing. He was always very prompt and was always available for us. The service offered was at a good price and efficiently delivered. A Place in the Sun Currency we’re a pleasure to work with.
Sarah Gander
