Hello Mike,
Thank you for your review. It is great to hear you have used our service a number of times successfully.
We have not been taken over, we are now in affiliation with No1 Currency. All orders are now submitted through their website and are collected from Griffin, as long as you select our branch on their website.
No1 Currency can also provide a postal service for your currency. This can be arranged via their website.

I was a bit nervous but the system worked well.
I found Griffin Financial excellent to work with. This being my first experience of sending funds in to be exchanged (US$ to £) I was a bit nervous but the system worked well. The funds arrived in my account right on the limit of the 3 working days after receipt but the exchange rate was excellent. The support team were available within working hours to reassure me!
