Our speciality

The keys in your hand, without the currency worry.

Completion day should feel like the start of something wonderful. Not a scramble to get funds across a border in time.

Whether you're buying a home in France, selling a villa in Spain or retiring to Portugal, currency moves matter. A single point on the rate can cost you thousands, and a missed deadline can put an entire purchase at risk. Your Newbridge specialist coordinates directly with your solicitor or notary so every payment arrives on time, in full, and at a rate you're happy with.

  • Lock in today's rate with a forward contract
  • Target a better rate with a market order
  • Staged and completion-day transfers, timed with your solicitor
  • Repatriate the proceeds when you sell. Safely and efficiently

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to ask, before you ask.

How do I register with Newbridge FX?

Registration takes a few minutes online. Once you've submitted your details, a dedicated specialist will call to introduce themselves, verify your identity in line with FCA rules and answer any questions before you send a penny.

Is my money safe?

Yes. All transfers are processed by FCA-authorised payment institutions, and client funds are held in segregated safeguarding accounts, Completely separate from company money.

How do you get better exchange rates than my bank?

High-street banks add a margin of 3–5% to their exchange rates. Because foreign exchange is all we do, we buy currency at wholesale rates and pass most of the saving on to you with no transfer fee on top.

How long does an international transfer take?

Most major-currency payments settle the same or next working day once your funds arrive with us. Your specialist will confirm exact timings for your currency and destination.

What is a forward contract?

A forward contract lets you fix today's exchange rate for a transfer up to 12 months in the future. It's a popular way for property buyers to protect their budget against currency swings between exchange and completion.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. We quote a single, transparent exchange rate up front and there are no transfer fees. What you're quoted is what your beneficiary receives.
