Seamless service and good exchange rates. Requested small denominations and order was fulfilled as per my request, very chuffed with that. Only wish I had the option to spell out the exact denominations I needed but otherwise, no faults.

Nervous ar first but I'd recommend now

I was so nervous at first as I w never ordered travel money online before but they had such a good rate and I didn't have time between work to collect any so I placed the order with them for some Yen. I got an email the day before it was due to arrive and it arrived as expected, before 1pm. I'd order from then again, fast and easy service to use.

Very good rates

Very good rates, pretty good really.

My only criticism is that when the easy transfer system didn't work the first time, I had to do a manual transfer a day later (which happened to be a weekend day) which meant I didn't receive confirmation of funds received for over two days. Not a big issue, but it would have been good to reaccess the easy transfer tool so I could have avoided that uncertainty.
