Even though I found this process of buying our property in Spain some what stressful to say the least, we were very happy indeed with the service that Mathew at place in the sun currency gave to us and will totally recommend our family and friends who are looking to do the same as ourselves, first class service.

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.

Ashley was our Account Manager and was an excellent communicator, at what is a stressful time when buying a property abroad. Ashley and his colleagues acted swiftly and kept us fully informed as funds were processed and was even able split the transfer into numerous tranches to avoid our receiving foreign bank's substantial fund receiving charges for significant lump sums.

I recently purchased a house in Spain and was faced with moving a large sum of money from GBP to Euro, my first challenge was finding a company I could trust, my bank (RBS) could have taken care of the transfer but their transfer rates were horrendous. A place in the Sun Currency were recommended by my estate agents in Spain so I thought I'd get in touch, I was appointed my own personal account manager Mr Matthew Boyle who dealt with every aspect of the transactions, not only was the service precise and clear with Matthew guiding me every step of the way, I ended up saving over €4000 compared to my own bank, with the money safely arriving in Spain. A fantastic professional company that I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend in the future. Muchas gracias Matthew :-), GR

Very easy to deal with, great service and explained all the options I had in terms of things like future orders etc. Additionally these guys split large payments to avoid additional bank charges overseas, a service which I wasn't aware I even needed. Will be using again in the future.
Andy Roberts

The team, especially Simon, Tom and Luke were really responsive and have explained the process throughout. The team was very professional and have provided a much better exchange rate for my transfer. I would recommend it
Lucas
