We are pleased to announce a new referral partnership with HiFX, a leading international money transfer service.
Our decision to work with HiFX was based on a number of benefits they provide over other brokers in the market, alongside their 5* excellence rating from over 8,500 client reviews.
As the sister company of XE.com (the world’s leading provider of currency related data), HiFX help over 100,000 individuals and companies to buy and sell currency every year and have transacted over £125bn on behalf of clients since their inception. Their service can save clients up to 4% over using their bank through their competitive exchange rates and the ability to secure exchange rates in advance. Unlike other brokers, there is no transfer fee for trades over £3,000 and just a £9 transfer fee for trades under that amount.
Through heavy investment in technology, their focus is on making every client’s experience – from registering for their account through to placing their trade – the quickest and easiest on the market. Clients can trade 24/7 and have the option to pay using GBP or EUR debit cards as well as electronic transfer.
Covering a wide range of currencies, HiFX can help most clients who have international interests, including buying, selling or paying bills on property overseas, expatriates sending money home or transferring salaries and/or pensions, clients with international investments and companies who import and export.

When it comes to passing on wealth efficiently, lifetime gifting can be one of the most effective tools in your estate planning strategy. But not all gifts are treated equally — and for high-net-worth (HNW) families, understanding the distinction between PETs and CLTs can mean the difference between zero tax and an immediate 20% charge.
Times Money Mentor recently posed the perennial dinner-party question: is a steeply-priced bottle really worth it? Their answer, in short, is “sometimes – but not for the reasons you may think.”
In today’s modern world, women juggle an increasing number of roles, from being a parent, caregivers, building a career and supporting their partners, all the while thinking ahead to the kind of future they want for their children. One of the most powerful gifts we can give them is a sense of financial security and the freedom to pursue their dreams.
