Currency Exchange

We've been making money transfers better since 1996

Hopes that Brexit uncertainty would disappear in 2019 were dashed as we were faced with a year dominated by extended deadlines and political dramas, and it looks like any sense of certainty could still be some way off.  While the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson secured a landslide victory in the December 2019 general election, his statement that the transition period won't extend beyond 2020 means the UK could still crash out of the EU without a deal.  

                                                                                          Ongoing Brexit speculation and concerns about the UK's future trade relationship with the EU have weakened the pound over the last few weeks, with GBP exchange rates edging further and further away from their post-election highs.  Trade discussions will continue dominating headlines, and currency movement, in the months ahead.
