APIS Currency helped us to convert the proceeds of our French chalet sale. Thank you Simon, for your assistance. They made the whole process painless and enabled us to convert our currency promptly upon receipt at a reasonable rate. They were very professional and helpful. They tracked down our funds within a short time of it being sent and were pro-active in making contact with us to effect the conversion. The proceeeds were then in our account the same day. Thank you.
