The rates on foreign currency are not what they were a few years ago – or not for the British anyway! Where the US dollar was worth 2 to the pound in 2008, you would now be lucky to get 1.5! This is bad enough for the average holidaymaker, but with businesses already suffering from other aspects of the recession, foreign trade has taken a serious hit. As the pound plummets, many individuals and businesses are moving abroad to take advantage of the better rates available there.

It needn’t all be doom and gloom however. Foreign Currency Direct can help to make it affordable to buy foreign currency again. They deal directly with the currency markets and through trading in high volumes they are able to get the best exchange rates available, as well as having minimal running costs compared to banks. You will be allocated a personal account manager who will take the time to get to know your business’s requirements and working with an experienced currency broker will allow you to buy foreign currency at a commercial exchange rate which is 4% better than that of the high street banks. What’s more, in addition to benefiting from the best exchange rates around, you will also have absolutely no commission or fees to pay, which usually cut into whatever you might have saved.
