Smart Currency Exchange FSA Registration

Dear Charles,

How are you? Getting into the festive spirit yet? Each year it seems to start earlier and earlier! My two daughters have already started asking me, 'guess what we got you for Christmas dad?!?' Argh!

Anyway – I have three very important things to tell you about:

As of the 1st November 2009 Smart Currency Exchange Ltd is authorised by the Financial Services Authority under the Payment Services Regulations 2009 (FRN 504509) for the provision of payment services.
Our Terms & Conditions have changed.

Our website has been updated, improved and is full of more valuable information!

So…let me start with the FSA stuff - what does it mean to you?

A new Payment Services Regulation (PSR) has come into effect that has had an impact on many financial institutions. You may have noticed your bank sending you updated terms and conditions - this is the reason why! The new regulations apply to banks and non-banking payment service providers such as Smart Currency Exchange Ltd.

From now on Smart Currency Exchange will be regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) under the new Payment Services Regulations 2009. The regulations cover the safeguarding of clients funds and payments made by us.

From your perspective you won't notice any difference when undertaking a transaction with us as, for the most part, we already met or exceeded the new standards that have been set by the FSA. If anything, the new regulation brings more peace of mind and a greater feeling of security.

To confirm Smart Currency Exchange Ltd regulation with the FSA, you can go to the following website and enter our unique number 504509: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/register/psdFirmSearchForm.do

It's definitely advisable that you only work with currency specialists that are regulated. And please keep in mind that Smart is also regulated by HM Customs & Excise. Since 2005 we've helped well over 11,500 clients to safely and effectively save money when moving money in and out of the UK.

Regarding our new Terms & Conditions, please see:

Finally – when you get a chance please check out our new website. We've spent quite a bit of time adding loads of case studies, examples of ways we can help and little features that will allow you to get a quote, request a call back and soon…we might have a bit of a video! Watch this space.

New website: www.SmartCurrencyExchange.com Please send your feedback if you have any – I would really appreciate your thought.

That's all for now…if you have any upcoming international payments, whether they're large lump sums or small regular payments (e.g. £500 per month or over), please give us a ring so that we can help you to save money.

Best wishes,
