    To be honest, if you don't understand it, it's probably not for you.


    Basically, it is using currency fluctuations to lower the amount you owe - but of course the loan could go up if they miscalculate.

    Combine that with a minimum fee of £2,500 a year, and there don't seem many positives really.

    Plus you have to be earning over 70k per annum and want to borrow a reasonable amount.

    Pretty good if you have lots and lots of money/debt but you have to be sure that their management will outweigh their fees.
