Always feel nervous about cash being…

Always feel nervous about cash being sent in the mail and I've never used Sterling FX before. The whole process of ordering online and payment was straightforward and easy. I was given a delivery before 1pm and received it at 9.45am . Communications via email were excellent with tracking info too. Got the best exchange rate too so 5 star performance from Sterling FX.

I've used Sterling FX multiple times and it's consistently been a great experience. Whether opting for postal delivery or a bank transfer, the process is smooth and reliable. The exchange rates are always more competitive than other providers I've tried. Highly recommended—and I’ll definitely be using them again!

Dear Altaweel,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please note that this was a buy-back order, which can take slightly longer to process due to delivery, verification, and bank transfer procedures. While we aim to complete the process within one working day of receiving the currency, it may occasionally take more than three working days for the funds to reflect in your account.

Kind Regards,

Sterling FX

Crooks don't touch this company

Crooks don't touch this company. They failed to deliver the currency we ordered. We went on holiday and came back and still it hadn't delivered. They refused to provide a refund saying we have to wait 6 weeks to get our money back on a Royal Mail scheme when Royal Mail are their chosen delivery partner not ours. The persons you speak to are all foreign sounding. It makes you wonder if they are organised crime operators. Ignore their website it is all untrue.

Dear Elaine,

Thank you for your feed back.

We would like to clarify that, as per our terms and conditions, all currency orders are dispatched via Royal Mail Special Delivery, a fully insured and trackable service.

In this rare case of non-delivery, a loss claim has been submitted, and Royal Mail requires up to 25 working days to complete their investigation. Once resolved, we will take the appropriate next steps, including issuing a refund.

Please also note that we are an FCA-authorised firm, and all processes follow strict regulatory standards.

We appreciate your patience and remain committed to resolving this as quickly as possible.

Kind regards,

Sterling FX
