Written by the company

With over a century’s worth of combined experience, we are leaders in foreign exchange, serving both private individuals and corporate clients. Privalgo combines market-beating exchange rates, intuitive tech platforms and a tailored personal service to give our clients the most rewarding foreign exchange experience. We believe that there is a story behind every currency conversion. Whether that’s a business opening its doors to the wider world or a family buying a home abroad. We understand that people are at the heart of these transactions. So, that’s how we treat our clients — as people. Each Privalgo client gets their own personal Relationship Manager. We get to know you, your story and your foreign exchange requirements. The way we see it — that’s the only way we can create you truly bespoke solutions. The foreign exchange industry has often been described as a game of smoke and mirrors. Traditionally, the process has been hidden from the people who are exchanging money. We’re working to change this. Our accessible and intuitive client portal and culture of transparency puts our clients back in control of the foreign exchange process. Privalgo’s clients can see exactly what exchange rates are available to them. Moreover, they can see the rates at which we can buy them. This means no game playing — you’re in control. Privalgo is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as an Electronic Money Institution for the provision of issuing E-Money and undertaking payment services (FRN 900887).

Great service and good platform

I needed to do a simple large transfer EUR => GBP and it went really smoothly with them. Great platform and customer experience.

Special shoutout to Jess who went above and beyond what I’d have expected and made sure everything was on track and on time.

Great experience!

We bought our first property and were a little worried about transferring money from abroad, knowing that the process of buying property can be quite intimidating and stressful.
Fortunately, Privalgo supported us, and Jess and Richard were very helpful in guiding us through the transaction process and provided us with excellent advice. We appreciate their personal attention, proactive communication, and overall excellent service. Privalgo is highly recommended and we look forward to use their service again.

Great service

First time dealing with Privalgo after being let down by our bank while transferring (or rather trying to transfer) money from France to the UK. The service was first class, Louis has been excellent at explaining how it all works, without putting any pressure to use Privalgo, and took the time to guide me through the steps even doing a test with a token amount to check the process worked and we were happy with it. Very quick, efficient and helpful. Highly recommend.

Cold email, spam call

First they send a cold email, then immediately a cold call, with no interaction between us! If you're this desperate for leads please keep us out of it.

Richard was absolutely fantastic

Richard was absolutely fantastic. We used this company when buying a house in France and Richard ensured everything went through smoothly. He kept in touch throughout the process and it was a huge weight off my mind knowing we had this very professional support.

Prohibitively slow


Took them three weeks to review and decide that they won't accept an incoming payment. Hilarious.

Edit: Privalgo responded to this review 11 months after I posted it. QED :)

Have been a regular user on a monthly…yesterday’s

Have been a regular user on a monthly basis And very happy with service and charges but I have been frustrated at extra charges I have suffered due I think to some low value transfers.
These extra charges make the value of the exchange less competitive. What is most frustrating is that the charge is never highlighted in the the process and can be most annoying.
