Convera is a company I would not move from

My dealings are with Steven, and he is very on the ball, keeps me up to date with the market so that I know when to buy dollars if I need to. I have dealt with him for many years and would not move as he is professional and the service we are given as a company is worth its weight in gold.

Purchases of money are made promptly along with paying of suppliers. 5 star service.

Convera is the best Forex platform in the UK

Convera is an amazing platform which is far superior to main stream banks for currency purchases and service . I was assigned a dealer Chris Kells who is available almost 24/7 and secures wholesale rates even on small trades. I have never had issues of foreign transfers not arriving on time like the main stream banks where funds would take a very long time to reach my suppliers . I have tried several forex companies over 20 years but Convera is in a different class for service , pricing and forex products . I would highly recommend this company to any small or large company to benefit from superb service and the best exchange rates for business .

Completely useless

Completely useless. Every email I sent to request help (as the online information was not enough/correct to process the transaction) just reiterated the information in that same useless form. As I am a customer of Great Southern Bank and they do transfers with Convera, I have no choice but to set up a new different bank account for this transaction or get them to send me a cheque. Bring back SWIFT!!

The level of service received from my Account Manager & Customer Services

The level of service received from my relationship manager is highly commendable, a very much 'can't do enough for you' kind of attitude and very efficient and knowledgeable. We always chat about how we both are and families are before getting down to business and I think that goes a long way and you can tell a lot from an individual and the business when it is easy for that to happen. Your customer service department are also very friendly and helpful with any requests or issues that may occur and resolve them in a a timely manner. Overall the service received is a great compliment to your team!

Excellent Customer Service

Hello I would confirm that we have been a customer with Convera/ Western Union for over 10 years and have always received good service. Our Account Manager Lee Chappell keeps us well informed regarding currency rates and business information relating to any forthcoming changes that effect our processing the purchases of currencies.

Convera provide a good service and the…

Convera provide a good service and the rates are usually favourable by comparison. The support is excellent. It is easy to get through on the telephone to either the customer support team or our account manager. Emails are responded to quickly and support cases are raised and responded to in a timely manner.
The one thing that lets Convera down is their software. We have had to revert to the legacy view as, due to lag, we are unable to confirm a payment within the allocated timeframe to secure the rate given. We are currently having problems quickly obtaining the reference required to settle payments via our bank - and whilst you have 7 days to make settlement, I prefer to make the settlement as soon as I have raised the payment through the Convera platform.
I have discussed this issue with our very helpful account manager and he tells me that they are working toward implementing a new platform.
I would definitely recommend Convera as a reliable foreign exchange provider, with good rates and who let you know when might be a good time to buy forward or place money into holding (whilst obviously beneficial to themselves, this has never been at a subsequent detriment to us)

10 plus years of top notch experience with this group. I've always had a designated contact who I get to know and they partner with our business to determine what we need, not trying to sell us ideas of questionable value to increase their $$ figures like many of these companies seem to do. We buy $2 million + USD per year through them, using spot trades, forwards and options to manage our risk through all kinds of economic environments.
