International
Money Transfers

As soon as we have received a copy of your passport and proof of address (signed and dated by yourself), we will activate your account the same business day. If you are comlpeting a transfer that exceeds £10,000, we may request additional documents from you.

Our exchange rates fall between the inter-bank rate, which is the ‘truest’ exchange rate there is, and the rates offered by high street banks and Bureaux de change. To get the most competitive rates possible, we continually canvass the market on your behalf, adding a small margin to the rates before passing the benefit of that rate on to you.

The rate commonly represented in the media is the interbank rate, which is the rate that banks trade with each other. This rate is often misleadingly displayed by banks – Anglo Pacific will only quote rates that we are legally permitted to offer our clients.

Anglo Pacific can transfer your funds to just about any destination, with the most popular countries being Australia, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Canada*, the USA* and Eurozone countries. If your country is not listed on our website, please give us a call and we will see what we can do for you.

*Receiving fees may be charged by receiving banks in these countries.

At the moment we can only transfer money to South African credit cards.

Once we have cleared the funds and processed your documentation, we will transfer the converted funds into your overseas account within three working days.

There is no minimum or maximum limit to what you can transfer.

We accept debit card and internet banking payments. If you are using internet banking, your name and surname need to be used as the reference for your payment. If you do not supply us with these details, you will need to email us proof of payment.

The easiest way to transfer money is to use your debit card on our website. To do this, you will need to enter all banking details and transfer instructions yourself on our website. This way, you have complete control over the transfer.

If you have chosen internet banking as your preferred payment method, you will need to complete two stages for your transfer to be processed:

1. Upload the transfer instructions onto your profile
   This will indicate how much, when, and where you want the funds to be sent. Once you upload the transfer instructions, our client holding account details will appear.
2. Log in to your internet banking account and transfer the amount to our client account. Use your name and surname as your payment reference.

If you are using internet banking, always enter your name and surname as the payment reference so that we know that the funds are from you. If the funds clear under a reference other than your own, please email [email protected] to inform us straight away.

Absolutely not. We charge a flat fee only.

We charge no receiving bank fees when you transfer to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland and Eurozone-based accounts.

Anglo Pacific is required by law to monitor unusual or suspicious transactions should we have reason to believe that the money is related to any illegal activity. We keep full records of all transactions, together with the copies of identification provided. We will not process any transaction where this information is withheld. Proof of address and proof of funds may be required in certain cases. Please contact us if you require any further information.

Anglo Pacific’s Money Transfer Portal uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL), 128-bit encryption to protect your transaction details. 128-bit encryption is the latest and strongest data encryption technique commercially available for securing information between clients and our website.

SSL works by encrypting/scrambling data from our website to your computer. The data is encrypted on our web server and can only be decrypted/unscrambled by the person with the correct decrypt/unscramble key. Once you have logged in the Money Transfer Portal you can then verify our site’s use of SSL in two places, by the use of “s” in https in the address bar of the site, and by the padlock in your status bar in your web browser.
