Customer Comments
Thank you for making our transaction a painless procedure and for advising us as to the best time to change our sterling into euros.
Great service, good value too.
A first class service. You’re always so friendly and helpful I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. Thank you.
We are very happy with the service that we receive from Jon Cawdell from Afex. We send money to Italy on a very irregular basis and he has set things up for us so that there is no form filling each time we send money.
An email or phone call to him and things are done. All we have to do is click a button to say everything is ok. I just wish that the banks here were as efficient. In future we will have regular payments being sent over ie Pension and we would look no further than yourselves to do this.
Great service from Afex. Helpful, fast, efficient. So much easier than using the bank!
We just love Jonathan Cawdell, he is the man saved me £1500 on my currency transfer.
Superb service. Nothing is too much trouble. We would definitely recommend you to our friends and family.
Excellent service once the account had been set up. Transfers have been trouble and worry free.
Very happy with our Currency Exchange transaction using Afex. Jonathan Cawdell was helpful and efficient and not at all pushy. Our situation changed dramatically and our original intention of transferring money to Australia was put on hold.
A year later we needed to transfer funds the other way and remembered Jonathan Cawdell! We would definitely use their services again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
Best thing ever!!!
Everything went really smoothly and it was very easy and CHEAP to transfer money. I am very happy with the service and i am recommending it to anyone..
