Investing abroad or making pension transfers

Those investing abroad or who are receiving overseas investment or pension proceeds should ensure that they are getting the best exchange rate and paying the lowest fees on the foreign currency they need to repatriate.

Most local banks will charge high fees and provide uncompetitive exchange rates that will eat away at the final amount you receive after converting your currency. UKForex will ensure you get a great foreign exchange deal every time, even when transferring small amounts.

Investing Money Abroad

One of the main purposes of investing is to maximise your return. If you are investing abroad and are receiving uncompetitive exchange rates and paying excessive fees, you are off to a bad start at attempting to maximise your return on investment!

Using UKForex’s currency transfer service guarantees you excellent exchange rates, with low or even no fees, so more of your investment remains intact. Also, the ease of using our service means you will have more time to spend making sure that your overseas investment will earn the best return possible.

Repatriating Investment Proceeds

When you have overseas investment proceeds to convert into your home currency, you will want to make sure that as much money as possible ends up in your pocket, instead of enriching the bank or foreign exchange service that you used to sell your foreign currency.

UKForex helps you avoid inefficient or costly transfers of your investment proceeds by providing excellent currency exchange rates and a quick and simple currency transfer service.

Our transparent online system lets you see what the wholesale market exchange rate is when you deal. Also, you can review each stage of your currency transfers while they are being processed.

Receiving Overseas Pension Transfers

UKForex understands that the currency exchanges involved in overseas pension transfers can be troublesome and costly, often resulting in retirees receiving less money than they deserve.

UKForex can help by providing standing arrangements that allow your overseas pension payments to be automatically converted into your local currency and then credited to your bank account. 

Not only does this streamlined process save time, but the competitive exchange rates and low, or no fees, offered by UKForex will save you money.

 What Our Clients Say About UKForex

“We have built up an investment portfolio overseas and used UKForex to transfer the funds for the initial investment. Based on the ease of this first transfer, we will definitely be using UKForex again when we bring the funds home. We have also utilised forward contracts (to great effect) to reduce the impact of exchange rate movements on our foreign assets. Great rates and service UKForex - keep it up!" - Adrian Mansell
