Moving money shouldn't cost you more than it has to.
We work with FCA-regulated payment partners and leverage institutional buying power to secure rates that are more competitive than what most high-street banks offer. On a £500,000 property purchase, 2% is £10,000.
More than ratesm we understand the French property buying process, the notaire timeline, and what happens if your transfer isn't set up correctly.
Competitive rates, always
Through our FX partners and institutional buying power, we access rates that are competitive compared to traditional banks, often making a significant difference on large transfers.
Dedicated human specialist
You work with a real person throughout your transaction, not a live chat bot. A specialist who understands your timeline and what's at stake.
Named accounts, notaire-ready
We open a named client account in your name, meaning French notaires can release funds directly and compliantly. No pooled accounts, no AML issues at completion.
Forward contracts & strategy
Lock in today's rate for a future transfer. For property purchases with 3-6 month completion windows, a forward contract protects you from rate movements that could cost thousands.
