Never heard of them.
Which is not a good sign.
Use somebody like TransferWise.
Excellent rates low charges and fast movement of funds.
I use transferwise for sending monies to Spanish account & paying companies.
When purchased last year - used company called Magna Financial they were ok, but should have used transferwise for a better exchange rate.

Hi and Hello
Yes we have used them from house purchases in Spain and for better rate transfer to our Spanish bank.
Very professional and very good rates
Once you pay then transfers in Euros are very quick.
Always worth shopping around for currency a few cent on big sums can make big differences
Hope this helps

Probably Smart Currency Direct - they are recommended by quite a few sites but their rates are not as good as Transferwise.
Transferwise are excellent, you get almost the market rate and their fees are low. In fact we transferred some money via them in the last week and got just over 1.20 Euros to the pound. The speed of transfer is amazing - my wife was transferring on her phone and by the time I had launched our Spanish banking app, the funds were in our account - 5 seconds!
We wouldn't use, or recommend, anyone else.
