WELCOME TO FIRST RATE

Did you know that 1 in 4 outbound travellers leaving the UK with foreign currency are carrying currency supplied by First Rate Exchange Services?

No, neither did they.

We are the UK’s leading supplier of foreign currency to businesses in financial services, travel and tourism and the retail sector.  And through them, to their customers.

More than just a B2B company, we think of ourselves as a B2B2C company - carrying out every transaction under a complete ‘white-label’ policy that ensures all the customer goodwill comes back fairly and squarely to our partners and clients.

These are businesses like yours. Businesses that can benefit from part or wholly outsourced foreign exchange to enhance their customers’ foreign travel experience and provide a lucrative additional revenue stream.

First Rate has a major global presence as a wholesale banknote provider, with trading relationships in 40 countries and associations with 12 central banks.

If you’re here, you’re probably already considering introducing or upgrading an FX facility within your company. With our experience and know-how, nothing could be simpler for you, your staff or your customers.

So please, have a look through the pages and discover what a First Rate service really means.
