Travelfx 5*

devoted

Hi.
I've read here about all the issues with Travelfx .co.uk but I decided to use them anyway (their rates are the best I found).
On Friday 18 March, I bought £499.95 of euros and paid by bank transfer (not the mobile banking link, a regular transfer). While I waited for them to confirm, I was worried all weekend that I might loose the money. Today 20 March, I checked my email and yes, they confirmed they had recieved my transfer then, a second email to say they'd sent the euros. As I asked to have the euros deposited in a currency account, I checked to see if they had sent the euros immediately. There was no deposit. I waited about 3 hours after reading the email and checked again. Yes the euros were safely deposited in the account.

I haven't read any recent reviews about Travelfx so maybe they've improved since 2019.

I've just used TravelFX for the first time for travel money as I usually just find the best rate to collect from here in London. I got the best rate around but I have to admit it was stressful waiting for the Post Office deliveries (it came in four packages over two days due to the Post Office insurance rules) but it all went very smoothly and on time - though the last package arrived the day after the date originally asked due to the restrictions, having ordered in plenty of time that wasn't an issue. The other worry was that it would all be big notes and so it proved with the first three packages but pleasantly surprised to find the last package had a good mix of notes. All in all I'd recommend but probably not for the faint hearted.
