We are specialists in currency conversions for International real estate purchases

• We make it our business to know about the property purchase processes in your part of the work. This way we are all on the same page, and can ensure the currency conversion happens seamlessly and timely with the transfer of your property.

Extremely competitive rates – we have access to the interbank rates – this means you will always pay less than using the banks.

• The major reason to use us is that you will save serious money! Because we specialize in large currency conversions relating to the purchase of international real estate, we are able to offer you significantly more competitive rates than the banks. Like the big banks, we make our money in the difference between our buy and sell prices i.e the spread. Unlike your bank, we don’t load on extra charges. We also have much lower overheads, so we can pass extra savings on to you. Exchange rate comparisons undertaken by national and international newspapers and independent surveys have shown that the major banks can charge up to 5% more to exchange your money. 5% doesn't sound a lot but this means if you were changing US $1 million into Euros, for example, you'd pay around US $50,000 more by using the banks than if you'd used Realty FX.

• With our ‘easy to open’ application process, and our fast-turn-around service placing your trade, you can be authorized and trading in no time.

Straight through processing – no going through various dealing desks

• Because we have direct access to the interbank rates without passing our orders through a dealing desk, there are no re-quotes or delays. Once we receive your instructions to trade – we trade immediately – directly to the liquidity providers.
