About SWFX

If your company is importing or exporting goods from or to overseas destinations, there is every chance you will need to exchange funds to send overseas or you will receive foreign funds that you will need to exchange into GBP. We, at SWFX, look to work with any company - start-ups, small and large - involved in international trade.

Over the years we have assisted a lot of companies in the food and drink sector. Based in South Devon we are ideally positioned to visit you to discuss smarter ways for you to execute your payments, either by paying an overseas supplier or managing the currency risk of your export income.

The major factor when deciding to purchase a property overseas and in a foreign currency is what exchange rate are you going to achieve and thus how far will your GB Pounds budget stretch?

We have specialist experience in all areas of the aviation market which involves the exchange of foreign currency, with specific knowledge of the private charter market in regards to commercial and private jets and helicopters, as well as solutions for all other aspects of the aviation business.

South West Foreign Exchange Ltd has been working with the Gun Trade Association and its members for years helping numerous companies and private individuals to make their overseas payments and help plan their risk strategies.

We are one of the very few companies still able to deal with the firearms businesses and associated goods, we believe the days of using a bank for such transactions are long gone, due to the impersonal service they offer, bad communication and lack of specialist knowledge. They certainly are not experts in this field…we are.

Due to in part the lack of understanding banks now have for this industry and the endless hoops they make gun traders jump through to set up the simplest of accounts , we are now able to offer alternative banking solutions to all. We have on offer a full suite of options for companies large or small to be able to set up, through our partners, a virtual IBAN account. These facilities are fully FCA regulated and no matter the size of the company, once registered, will have access to your very own suite of foreign currency accounts under one IBAN and swift number, GBP included, in your own company name   and at no cost extra. At the last count we were covering 39 different major currencies.

SWFX works with accountants, solicitors, wealth management companies, IFA’s, estate agents, procurement companies and many other professional service businesses that support clients’ needs in regards to making and receiving overseas money transfers and managing currency risk.

Renewable energy and other sustainable companies form a growing part of our client portfolio. With more and more ‘raw materials’ coming from overseas the need to keep an eye on costs becomes more relevant.

Almost everything in the home these days comes in from overseas and more and more retailers, especially in this climate are looking to keep their costs down. If you are one on those call us today and see what difference we can make.

No matter what business you operate in there in undoubtabley a need for some form of currency services associated with the running of your company. With the ever need for keeping costs down we are here to help you achieve that.
