Who are FCD?
Foreign Currency Direct (FCD) is a UK-based PLC that specialises exclusively in international currency broking.
Founded in 2000, we're one of the UK's leading independent currency brokers, with a turnover of around £500m.
Our innovative approach eliminates intermediaries. By dealing directly with the currency markets, we gain a competitive edge in pricing foreign exchange.
We're large enough to ensure world-class performance for our clients - but we're also small enough to deliver very high levels of personal service.
We are the preferred currency provider for solicitors, IFAs and property agents all over the world.
We have an award-winning team of currency experts dedicated to providing exceptionally attentive service.
We pioneered IPD ® (Irrevocable Payment Document), the internationally recognised proof of payment.
What are the benefits of using FCD?
Opening an account is free and there's no obligation to trade.
A dedicated, experienced dealer will guide you expertly and 'hold your hand' throughout the entire currency transfer process. There is one point of contact throughout, who will take time to understand your situation and requirements.
Our currency expertise can potentially save you thousands of pounds while maximising security and minimising exposure to risk.
We always use commercial exchange rates. Depending on the transaction, these are up to 4% better than those offered by high street banks.
You will also save money by not having to pay commission or 'hidden' fees.
Our charges are transparent: a priority international transfer transaction under £50,000 will cost £15.00. Above that value we allow one free transfer per transaction.
You will save time and avoid stress, because we make everything as fast and hassle-free as possible.
