Currency exchange – trusting your broker

When it comes to looking after your money, it's vitally important that you trust the experts that you've placed in charge of your finances. If you didn't trust your bank you'd move your money. If you thought your accountant wasn't paying your tax correctly, you'd find a new accountant. If your car breaks down just after its latest service, you'd change garages. So why take a risk with currency exchange matters?

A broker you can trust

Whether you run a business that needs to make regular payments in foreign currencies, or you want to send money overseas for pension payments or to buy property abroad, you need the advice and expertise that a currency exchange broker can give you. Not only can a broker remove the practical burden of currency exchange, they can also give you advice and keep you up-to-date with the latest developments in the markets so that you can make the most of your money. There are several things that you need to be confident about:

• Experience – does your currency exchange broker have the necessary experience? Some brokers specialise in certain currencies, but this is no good to you if you are dealing with currencies outside those safety zones. Brokers who are able to deal with a wide range of currencies will be able to advise you when you move into new markets, or if you decide to invest elsewhere.

• Security – make sure you understand how your currency exchange broker looks after your money. It should be held in accounts that are separate from the broker's own business accounts and you should be able to track it easily. The broker should have protection so that you don't lose your money.

• Relationships – is your broker prepared to build a strong relationship with you? Proactive currency exchange brokers will call when they have found something that can help you rather than waiting for you to ask. They will keep a regular check on your account to make sure that your money is being handled properly and that you really are getting the best deal. This customer-focus is always a good indication of a company that is serious about looking after you and your money.
