Private Client Services

Guiding You to a Better Foreign Exchange Deal

Whether you’re buying a property overseas, migrating to a fresh start abroad or importing a high-value capital good, currency issues are never far away. You’ll find that timing, flexibility and market knowledge are crucial in all foreign exchange dealings – but you may not always have these skills at your fingertips. To guarantee you get the best exchange rate, you’ll need the help of financial experts. That’s where we deliver, fast and without charging you a penny.
Halo Financial is a leading specialist provider of commercial foreign exchange services. Our services benefit both international business and private individuals who require foreign currency and need expert assistance in successfully managing their foreign exchange exposures.
Our professional services for private individuals, however, go far beyond simply quoting the very best exchange rates. They have been developed to help you achieve your personal goals and can be tailored to meet your exact requirements.
You can benefit if you are:

• Buying a property overseas
• Emigrating
• Importing a high value asset e.g. car, boat or planes
• Need to make regular currency transfers e.g. pension, mortgage, salary, rental income

Why Halo Financial?

Whether you are buying a home overseas, emigrating or importing a high-value capital good such as a car, boat or aircraft you’ll almost certainly be expected to make the transaction in the local currency. This will involve a transfer perhaps from your UK bank into another currency that will need to be transferred to the vendors account overseas. But this unfortunately isn’t always as straightforward as it may seem.
For instance, currencies fluctuate all the time. If you trade when the exchange rates are in your favour, you get better value and receive more currency for your money. But if there’s a downturn in the exchange rate, you won’t get such good value from your trade and you could end up paying more money than you intended. So how do you spot the right moment to close the deal?
Halo Financial and our expert dealers are friendly, approachable and patient. We’ll help you choose the best time to trade and the best way of moving your money around. We’re good at explaining things because we understand the needs of people who’re unfamiliar with the complexities of the world’s financial markets. As a result we can help you stand back and take stock of your priorities. We’ll explain your options and help you explore the possibilities without blinding you with science. Whatever your plans may entail, we’ll encourage you to look at the monetary aspects with fresh eyes whilst we will work hard to get the very best exchange rate for you.
