I have been using Global Reach, formerly FC Exchange, for many years now. The service provided is very personal and I have never been let down by the Company. For currency transactions, this is the ‘go to’ place because it is safe. My account manager is excellent and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Well done Lauren!

As a customer for more than 7 years, I have found Global Reach always very helpful, even during the recent pandemic. There has always been someone to take my telephone call when I want to arrange different transactions, which is very reassuring when calling from Australia. The online system is easy to use, the exchange rates are very competitive and the whole process is speedy and efficient.

I have been a customer of Global Reach and its predecessor for around 10 years and I have been very pleased with the service I have received over that time. They are very efficient and the transfer money always arrives as promised, and the process is easy and effective. I recommend them.

We’ve used Global Reach regularly since 2017, and the service is always quick and straight forward. We usually phone to make money transfers and our account manager is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We would happily recommend this company. They take the stress and strain out of money transfers for us. Very happy with Global Reach

I have used Global since the change from FCE. They are fast and efficient and a real personal touch to our dealings. Ben and Steve with whom we deal are superb which is why we have recommended them to several others.

I am an occasional customer rather than a regular, and am certainly no expert. Global Reach has been my FX choice for years: service is fast, secure, and totally competent, while the staff are friendly and human, taking time to explain options in straightforward terms as necessary. The fact that people have worked there for years tells me that this is a quality operation for them as well as for me – human values matter to me, and I like the ‘feel’ of this company.
