Business Wednesday Tax & Currency
“South Africans and foreigners wanting to make international
payments should wake up to the benefits of shopping around,
embrace the opportunity to save money and look beyond the
perceived sanctity of their banks. They can literally save thousands
on exchange rates and hundreds on fees and commissions”

“I was impressed with the speed and the quality of the service from
Currencies Direct: within 3 days of my initial consultation with Graham
I had the currency arrive in my account. And incredible value on top of
that: the best exchange rate I could find on the day, and with no fees I
saved a good amount compared to transferring via my bank in the
UK.”
