Company Overview

Currencies Direct (formerly Currency UK) has helped thousands of people transfer millions of pounds worldwide at bank-beating rates.

Foreign exchange, including international payments and receipts can often be overlooked compared to the photography industry’s main commercial and creative objectives but can have a significant impact on your finances.

Currencies Direct offers a wide variety of benefits for AOP members whose business is affected by foreign exchange, including personalised and unparalleled insight required to manage multiple currencies and maintain profits in volatile currency markets.

Our online system allows you to easily facilitate international payments for business transactions in additional to personal requirements you may have e.g. buying or selling a property abroad. Many banks charge a percentage or an extortionate flat fee for foreign transfers. We can save you money here too.

With a 4.9 Trustpilot rating, we are authorised and regulated by the FCA and have the highest possible credit rating, level 1, with Dun & Bradstreet.

Currencies Direct was named MoneyAge 'Money Transfer Provider of the Year' in three of the last four years. In 2023, they won the Good Money Guide 'Best Currency Broker' award and the Business Moneyfacts 'Best Business FX Provider' award.
