Thecurrencyaccount.com - any good?

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with thecurrencyaccount.com?
I booked my wedding in Cyprus for this year when the exchange rate was around 1.40. Now it's down to about 1.13 but they are offering exchange rates of 1.16. I have about €4500 to buy and send abroad so I'm worried if it's a con site or not. Any feedback is appreciated!

    From a quick look, the rate they are showing for euros is the current mid-market rate, not the rate that they are going to give you, or if they do there will be fees on top. "Please note, fees apply for withdrawal of Travel Cash and making International Payments." Personally I use TransferWise or Revolut.

  • Thanks, I checked the fees out and they were coming in at 0.5% for international payments which didn't seem too bad as I'd be about €100 better off but didn't know if it was too good to be true! I'll check them other sites you recommended out too.
