Choosing Your Payment Method

Before you send anything off, you get to decide how you’d like to receive your money. We’ve got a few handy options to suit everyone:

  • Bank Transfer: The fastest way to get paid, with the money sent directly into your UK bank account.
  • Cheque: If you prefer a more traditional method, we can post a cheque straight to your address.
  • Charity Donation: You can also choose to donate foreign coins to charity. We work with trusted UK charities, allowing you to turn that leftover currency into a meaningful contribution. This is a brilliant option, especially if you have lots of small amounts from various places.

Our entire online platform is built for speed and simplicity. We are committed to a 100% guaranteed service, and that begins with a transparent, easy-to-use form that respects your time. We handle the complexities so you don't have to.

This first stage puts you in complete control, setting you up for a smooth and reliable experience right from the start.

How to Pack and Send Your Currency Securely

Alright, you’ve filled out the online exchange form and are just one step away from getting paid for that jar of leftover currency. This last part is simple, and our helpful advice makes it completely hassle-free.

If you’re mostly sending banknotes, a sturdy, padded envelope will do the trick. For a heavier collection with lots of coins, we've found that a small, strong box is your best bet to ensure it arrives safely.

And the best part? There’s absolutely no need to sort anything. Just pop all your coins and notes in together—we'll handle the rest when it gets here. It’s this easy, hassle-free approach that makes our service stand out.

Getting Your Parcel Ready

To make things foolproof, we give you a pre-filled address label that includes your unique reference number. Just print it out and stick it securely onto your package. This little label is key, as it ensures we can identify your currency the moment it arrives.

Here's a quick checklist before you send it off:

  • Seal it properly: Use strong packing tape to seal every opening on your envelope or box.
  • Attach the label: Make sure the address label is flat, secure, and easy to read.

For total peace of mind, we always recommend using a tracked postal service like Royal Mail Signed For. This gives you proof that you've sent it and lets you see exactly where your package is, which is why we can offer a 100% guaranteed service.

Once your package is on its way, you can relax. Following these simple steps ensures your currency arrives safely, ready for our team to count and process. It’s the final step in turning that forgotten foreign cash into real money in your account.

Getting the Best Value for Your Currency

Let's be honest, when you exchange foreign currency online, your biggest question is probably: "Am I getting a fair price?" It's a valid concern, and we've built our entire service around making sure the answer is always yes. Whether you have current, circulating notes or a dusty jar of old coins, our goal is to give you the best possible value in a fast, easy, and hassle-free way.

So, how do we do it? It's quite simple. Unlike airport or high street kiosks, we don't have massive overheads from expensive retail locations. Those costs get passed on to customers through poor rates and hidden fees. We run a much leaner operation, which means we can pass those savings directly on to you.

How We Ensure Fair and Transparent Rates

Our promise of great value is more than just words; it’s baked into our transparent system. For any circulating currencies, we keep our rates constantly updated to reflect what's happening in the live market. This ensures you're getting a fair price based on real-time values.

The Bank of England is the benchmark here, publishing daily spot rates that guide the UK's currency market. You can even check their data yourself to see how official rates move.

But where we really shine is with practical help for money that others won't touch. If you want to exchange foreign coins, old banknotes, or even pre-euro currencies, most places will simply turn you away. We see the value in that forgotten cash and have the expertise to assess and process it.

It's why major UK brands—from national charities and supermarkets to police forces—trust us. They know we provide a reliable, straightforward way to convert foreign coins and banknotes into funds they can actually use. That trust and credibility are built on our clear pricing and our 100% guaranteed service.

Ultimately, we want this to be a financially smart move for you. By sidestepping the high-street pitfalls and unlocking the value in currency that others deem worthless, we make sure you're not leaving money on the table.
