Not only is it more convenient, but you will save money as Moneycorp's exchange rates are more favourable than those offered by the banks. These could be as much as 2-4 per cent better, which makes a difference of thousands when exchanging large amounts, and often a saving of hundreds on smaller amounts.

The transfer fees are also far lower than those available at traditional high street banks. It can cost up to €40 a time to make currency transactions through a bank, whereas Moneycorp only charges between €5 and €15 to send funds abroad. If you're sending money overseas on a regular basis, this could save you hundreds a year on transfer fees alone.
