There was a few days delay in receiving my payment.
However after a phone call the problem was solved and the rate was somewhat better than my banks exchange rate.
I plan on making transfers from the UK to Spain monthly so we will see if things go smoothly from now on

Excellent service!

I had a really great experience with Smart when I bought and then, due to issues, had to sell my house in France.

Matthew Lane-Miller was just exceptional, so helpful and knowledgeable. I was super nervous about moving around large sums of money but he made it all very easy for me to understand.

Matt always put me at ease and always made sure I was up to date with everything that was happening.

I would recommend Matt to anyone for his professionalism and also the fact that he’s just such a great person to deal with!

10/10 would recommend Smart Currency Exchange, they’re excellent 👍

Fairly simple.
The mobile phone app should be in Google Play for security however, and there are several apps on Google Play with similar sounding apps.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We aim to offer so much more than being a faceless app. Many of our customers are transferring significant amounts overseas and we always aim to help them with one-to-one service to understand their needs and manage transfers effectively.

You can book a transfer over the phone, directly with your account manager - or via our online client portal while our mobile app is a work in progress to be updated.

Thanks again for your feedback. We hope to be able to help again soon.
