Private Client Testimonials
"World First give an excellent service. They are courteous, friendly and very patient. Of the six companies I tried for currency exchange, they provided the best rate." Robert Bishop, Cornwall
"I would like to thank you for your help in not only providing an excellent service (and exchange rate) but for also allowing a complete novice to enter the world of currency exchange. I would certainly not hesitate in recommending your service to anyone." The McQaid family, Bristol
"I would like to thank all of you for the excellent service you have provided on our foreign exchange transactions, particularly over the last couple of months. Thank you for keeping me advised of any changes, for the friendly service and for the prompt and efficient processing. Our gradual move of assets to Australia is now complete, in fact we become citizens in about a month. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others and in fact have already done so for a friend in the UK who's buying property in the US. It's rare to get such professional and outstanding service these days.
" Amanda, Perth (Australia)
"I would like to say how impressed I was with World First, I was kept regularly up-to-date and the service I was given was always first class." Simon Beal, Richmond
"We were so delighted with the service we had from World First that we now recommend them to all Shortcuts Property Search clients who are buying property abroad. One happy client saved enough money to furnish her entire apartment with the savings she made as a result of using them rather than her bank - and everyone always comments on the excellent level of service they receive." Jan Pratt, Director, www.shortcutspropertysearch.com
"I was very pleased with the service I received from World First; your dealers were lovely and explained everything very well. If I need to use this service again, I'll definitely use World First, and I will be recommending you guys to my friends." Maxine Holt, Exeter
"We have been in international property development and sales for a number of years and have used many well known currency companies, but none of them have ever come close to the level of service that we get from World First. Keep up this great service!".
Andrew Purnell - www.waverleyresorts.com
"World First were fantastic, I had a problem with transferring funds from the UK directly into my bank in NZ, for some reason it had to go through an intermediary bank but World First sorted it all out, plus they give me the best rate I could find in the UK at the time. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional service when transferring large amounts of money from the UK to NZ.". Malcolm Chambers from UK to Hawkes Bay
"Many many thanks to the team at World First UK for the excellent service you have provided during our purchase of our apartment in the Caribbean. From the very first contact, during uncertainty with the dates and amounts, to the day when the transfer was finally made, your professionalism and patience was first class. We decided to use your organisation after having read the recommendations and testimonials by your previous customers and were glad that we did. We will certainly be using your services again." Joanna Bryson, Bognor Regis
"The service and speed in which my transaction was completed was first class. From the initial beginning in obtaining and booking the rate, to the final notification that the funds had arrived in Australia was great." Craig Poppett, London
"The first transaction that we completed recently was a great experience - fast, easy and well communicated. I have been struggling with the antiquated practice of mailing transfer requests to my high-street bank for the past 4 years and paying higher fees for the pleasure of waiting weeks to see the process complete. I will not be doing that again. "Julian Lowerson, North Carolina
"I would like to say a HUGE thank you for making all my money transfers so
stress free. Your service is second to none and I recommend your company to all my family
and friends. Some of them now have accounts with you too. The traders are simply brilliant and take all the hassle out of exchanging small or large sums of money. Thank you all at World First." Trisha Black, Cyprus
"I have found the service to be excellent and very professional. Staff have been very helpful at all times and I enjoy reading the update newsletters/articles. I have no hesitation to recommend your services elsewhere." Sajinder Rai, Derby
"I was very happy with the service I received from World First. The transaction went smoothly and exactly as originally explained, all World First personnel I spoke with were knowledgeable, courteous and friendly." Eva Hayward, USA
"Thank you very much for handling this transaction and we look forward to working with you again in the future. You are all very nice to work with at World First, and we enjoy Jeremy's extremely charming accent every morning in his update - good choice!" Carole and Dave White, USA
"I would just like to say a sincere thank you to you guys. I have never had to deal with an overseas transaction before and through an article in the Mail On Sunday, fortunately, World First was recommended. You guys were so understanding, as I was watching the rate fall!! You really helped me through a very stressful time by keeping in close contact with me. I would highly recommend you and thank you once again." Rosemary Smith, Christchurch
"I just want to say that I have recently had the pleasure of using the services of World First to transfer some NZ dollars to my US account. The service was just outstanding and I would highly recommend them. Just wonderful people to work with, answered all my questions and were very attentive. The whole process was simple and quick (which meant I wasn't waiting for days and days wondering if the money would show up in my US account!) Transferring funds via World First was much less expensive than doing it through my local bank. They are indeed, trusted partners!" UsWoman, move2nz member
"I really appreciate your services. Easy + reliable + very competitive rates = excellent business model. Keep up the good work!" Bernhard Haidinger, London
"I have only used your service once but I was truly amazed at how easy and quick it was. I checked with my bank and it would have cost me over €150 more and would have taken a month to complete, not three days. You can count me as one very satisfied customer. I shall certainly use the service again." Eric Sumner
"I have been using you monthly for some time now and as always your service is terrific." Andrew Dunn

Karla Richards
"The service I've received from you guys has been top class. You have helped me out in a big way when I moved to Canada and had been let down by my bank and you've always been prompt in helping me with any further transactions since then. I'll always recommend your firm to anyone who's in a similar position, i.e moving abroad, as the service I've received has been top class." Jason Zerk
