Making a regular or one-off international payment?

If you're making a regular or one-off international payment, we can provide you with the foreign currency you require at the best available exchange rate. Our regular payment plans are hassle-free, cost-effective and can be set up for any regularity. Perfect if you're living abroad but receiving a UK pension, paying for an overseas mortgage or working abroad and transferring your salary.

Foreign exchange hedging strategies

If you are buying or selling a property abroad, you may be exposed to significant risk due to constant fluctuations in exchange rates. Our hedging strategies help you to manage your foreign exchange risk by protecting you from adverse rate movements and enabling you to benefit from favourable rate movements.
