A well organised and straight forward process to get English pounds to Australian dollars. We also appreciate the care taken when dealing. This is due much in part to the professionalism of Rob Burton

A very professional outfit. Clear processes and procedures, great rates of exchange and swift payments. I dealt with a couple people over my recent property purchase and everyone was great. Special mention to Matthew primary account handler as he was always available to explain things and check in regularly with sound advice

Matthew sorted out a few complex transfers to and from the UAE transferring new currency and closing a forward contract. Was all super quick and easy, will def use again!

Simon helped us to move money from the UK to France for a family business. The sum was quite large so we wanted to feel our money was safe at all times rather than use an online company. We had peace of mind knowing that you could call Simon or his team and that all checks possible had been done before the money left the country, ensuring a safe and timely arrival at the other end. Would definitely recommend. French banks are not so straightforward to deal with!!

James dealt very professionally with my currency transfer. His communication was excellent and always very timely. I was moving a lot of currency from the sale of a house and at all times i knew how the transactions were progressing and generally how the market was doing to maximise my return. I would highly recommend.

I met Matthew Boyle from the currency team at the NEC convention and from this day Matthew has supported me exceptionally with all my currency needs. I have been amazed by the level of attentiveness, support and advice offered by Matthew and would thoroughly recommend this service to anyone.

A really safe, smooth and reliable process, followed up in every step. Even when the transaction was successfully finalized, my contact person contacted me to make sure that the funds had arrived into my accounts.

I recently used A Place in the Sun Currency for an overseas money transfer, and I cannot thank Rob Burton enough. Moving large amounts of currency abroad can be incredibly daunting, but Rob made the entire process completely reassuring and stress-free. He was very down to earth, professional, clear, and kept me updated every step of the way. If you want excellent, personalized service and peace of mind, ask for Rob. Highly recommended. Thanks mate

Polite , helpful and courteous .Being an older adult , I was not used to things like completing documents online as I usually correspond by post. Was walked through the process and Ashley was patient when a lot of jargon just went over my head .if you have never ever purchased a property before it quite daunting .I would recommend people use a place in the sun as they are good at helping people through the process and addressing concerns openly and concisely .
Mrs Cheryl Jessop

Recently used for currency exchange after selling our Spanish house,very professional and fast no nonsense service,fees were reasonable mostly due to currency rates all in all would highly recommend
Eric. Smith

I am a long standing client, having been introduced by a friend some years ago. It's easy for newcomers to underestimate the importance of having a personal client manager but this feature, the excellent rates, and the reliability of the service make for peace of mind when transferring large sums.

I have been using A Place in the Sun Currency, previously Currency Index, for several years now. Never had a problem – great, courteous service, good rates and efficiency. Recently Noam Bennaiche has been a great help!
Antonio Franchina

We have just completed our first financial transaction sending money to our account in Spain. The process was explained in advance in a very transparent way. Our contact was Matt who made it so easy walking us through the process. Matt kept in touch from start to end to ensure everything was completed as promised. The are very efficient and keep up great communication all the way. We would not use any one else and the exchange rate is very fair.
Wayne Redding

A Place in the Sun offered the most competitive rate and had an office in Spain near our lawyer for handing over the banker's draft. They were the most reactive to our enquiries. Pleased all round with the service.

My advisor was James Tucker, he was incredibly helpful the whole way through my experience with A Place in the sun Currency Ltd. I ran into several problems during my transfer but James helped me out on every one of them. Highly recommend advisor and company.
