Transferring money internationally is STRESSFUL!
Transferring money internationally is stressful, full stop. I began working with Freddie Vyvyan at Currencies Direct back in August 2025. We were planning a move from the US to Ireland, and Freddie helped me with my 1000 questions. He was very patient and responded to every silly question.
Fast forward to this year; we finally purchased a home, and we had to move a larger sum to Ireland. Next level stress unlocked!
I was grateful for the relationship I built with Freddie, so I sent him a note letting him know I was ready to transfer the funds for the home purchase, and he was a great help to me. He walked me through all the steps and kept an eye on exchange rates for me. He informed me there would be additional security steps this time, which I was grateful for. Everything went perfectly!
Now, Currencies Direct may not be the least expensive option out there, HOWEVER, if security, speed, and trustworthiness are at the top of your list, then I cannot recommend them enough! They are worth it for the peace of mind that you know your money will arrive on time, and you will have an expert, like Freddie, to guide you through the process and keep you calm.
I can't say enough good things about them. I am truly grateful for their help. Thank you again, Freddie - you're a star!

Excellent service. Help with a larger some of money. Freddie was fantastic..really helpful and knowledgeable but not at all pushy. I was so wary as it was a new process and involved savings but Freddie made it all seem less scary.

My wife and I used Currencies Direct while moving overseas to transfer funds and it was a great experience. Freddie Vyvyan my account manager was super helpful guiding us through the entire process with which we had zero prior experience. Freddie explained everything we needed to know, answered any questions that came up promptly, and was a true professional throughout. Highly recommend him and Currencies Direct.
Simply the best Staff
The fact that after 4 years of inactivated account they still responded immediately, despite the official closure on Saturdays they reopened the account immediately.
Both member of staff were absolute Gems, polite, friendly and very clear about the steps that needed to be taken (just clicking on links sent).
A big well done and congratulation to the company for having such dedicated staff:
Taginder Wasir, who took my call and was ever so quick to transfer me to, Kate Harris who within less than a minute set me up.
These two wonderful people deserve a well deserved promotion and gratitude from the company. As from my side, Thank you both so much!
Thank you again
