About us

We are EG
your trusted currency partner

Established in 2000, we were founded on the core value of being a centre of excellence by delivering exceptional service and competitive exchange rates for our customers - an ethos we continue to operate by to this day. We take great pride in offering a service that is “people-led and tech-enabled.”

Whether our customers are looking to buy property, get married or retire; grow their business, or expand to new territories, they’re motivated by what they want to achieve, not just the rates, products and processes involved.
Our cutting-edge technology platforms are vitally important. So is our experts’ deep understanding of currency markets.
It’s these things combined with how we understand our customers’ ambitions that help us turn overseas payments into achievements, and dreams into realities.
