Who are we?

TopMoneyCompare is a UK based comparison and informational website for currency transfer providers and products.

With the basic aim of connecting you with an appropriate service, we provide in-depth company reviews, comparisons and currency guides to allow you to choose your provider with confidence.

Our company reviews zoom in on trust, service, cost and availability by looking at their exchange rates, fees, customer feedback and regulations, and more.

You can then compare providers side-by-side to see which one is truly right for you.

What is the problem?

Most people don’t know anything about international money transfers.

Honestly, a lot of people don’t know how currencies work either.

Naturally, it should be a process that’s understandable and easy to follow.

Then, they start chucking rates, fees, IBANs and BICs at you.

Everything should be clearly explained right from the start.

As the customer is already a bit confused, it’s not hard for the banks to then over-charge.

You’ll be shocked at how much a large transfer costs, on average, when using your bank.

The worst thing is, they don’t care.

It’s just what they do.

Currency transfers should be appropriately priced and costs made transparent.

You’ll also find that it’s hard to get information about how banks and providers charge their customers.

This makes it easier for them to make more money.

As with anything, information and help should be readily available and easily accessible.

This makes for a better and more pleasant customer journey.

Telephone help and informational guides should be more of a priority in the industry.

Why do we exist?

You think money, you think banks. That’s a given.

Except, with international money transfers, you need to think outside of the box.

Believe it or not, the banks are the worst providers of international transfers.

Not only do they cost an absolute bomb, but their general customer service is poor, too.

To top it off, not many people know to look for other options.

So, our goal is simply this:

Raise awareness of the banks malpractice and provide alternative, cheaper solutions for the general public.

How do we fund the site?

As this website is entirely free to use, you’re probably wondering how we maintain it.

We generate our revenue through selected providers on our site.

We may receive a fee every time someone clicks the providers link, or when a referred customer books a trade.

This has absolutely no effect on your rates and fees when using any provider.

We will never ask you for money or charge a subscription fee.

All of the information provided here is free and available to anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

My bank offers currency transfers. Should I just use them instead?

+

No. Most high-street banks offer the worst currency rates on the market, paired with poor service and large transfer fees. On top of that, you won't have an advisor there to help with timing your exchange. In short, using your bank isn't a good idea.

What is an international money transfer?
