Used Optimal Currency following the sale of a property and relocation from UK to Ireland (GBP/EUR). Fantastic, personal service and best rate I could find. Web portal is very easy to use and their communication was first class. Would thoroughly recommend Optimal Currency

Having received an excellent service from Optimal in 2021, I decided to trust them again in 2026.
A different broker, but the same attitude and dedication to service.
I could not be happier!

Great service, I would recommend this company.

Because I was referred, I felt confident that Optimal was a safe company.
Steven Ford was my broker and he was very clear and precise about all stages.
He answered all my questions and the transaction, very smooth.
I will certainly use Optimal again.

After sorting out an inheritance overseas and selling a property, David gave us absolutely full trust in the process to exchange and transfer the funds. He was super responsive, honest, and actioned everything quickly. Much better rate than the banks, and an issue free process. Could not more highly recommend for personal service!

David Bayliss was Efficient and friendly. He dealt with our transaction and transfer of money very quickly, supporting the sale of our French property.

All transactions handled safely and with friendly professionalism. 100% reccommend!

very clear and simple process from start to finish. David Bayliss our advisor was professional and friendly. I would recommend them

Optimal Currency were recommended by estate agents who sold my deceased brother's flat in Malta. It turned out that they had ways of making things happen (in terms of getting the proceeds of the sale transferred back to the UK) which the solicitors dealing with the estate couldn't manage. In the process they were friendly and easy to relate to, the exchange rate achieved was good, and the fee for their services (recouped via exchange rate mechanisms/differentials) was very reasonable.

Excellent personal service. Kept informed all the way through the process. Very impressed would highly recommend this business.

Great service and so easy to deal with.

Every aspect of the transaction was excellent. The information given was good, the personnel competent and helpful.

Great experience , very supportive, excellent communications and very friendly. Supportive throughout the process.

Excellent service, simple to use and very efficient. Transferring money can be a big worry, but James was really helpful, reassuring and full of good advice.

Fantastic service from Steven and the team, they went over and above to ensure we obtained the best market rate. Everything was explained clearly and the whole experience ran smoothly, I would definitely use again.

Simple and stress free. Above all very friendly and responsive. Thoroughly recommend for a Euro/GBP transfer.

Very professional & reliable service, with prompt communication from the team (big thanks to James!) Fully recommended - Five stars!

Optimal Currency played a pivotal part in our purchasing property and moving to a new country for a new adventure. They gave great service at every stage of the effort. Special thanks to James for going above and beyond!

It was a new experience for me to need to transfer US dollars to Euros in conjunction with a property purchase in France. I was navigating a real estate process that was unfamiliar to me right down to the use of foreign funds. James Baxter and David Bayliss made everything as easy as it could be. They were always readily available to answer my questions and guide me in the next steps. They were patient, friendly and knowledgeable. I felt well cared for and confident in the process thanks to them. I highly recommend both them and Optimal Currency.
