Top-Class Currency Transfer Service for France

At MFH, we believe in teamwork and transparency; we enjoy keeping our clients happy and protecting their privacy. We fully appreciate that we are in business thanks to them and to our valued partners.

Long Term Partnerships

When I met Jean-Luc at a summer barbecue in a village near Lyon in 2003, I didn’t realise we’d be working with the same partners twenty years later!

Our longstanding partnership with Currencies Direct is a similar story: they provide top-class service and competitive rates for our clients from almost anywhere, through their website, app, or handy multi-currency debit card.

Buying or selling property in a different country is about timing, and securing currency at the best rate is integral to the sales process. Read our partner Jack Wiles’ comments about how we work together to provide our international clients with top service and the best outcome.

Working with Currencies Direct

“My name is Jack Wiles from Currencies Direct, and I manage the company’s key partnerships. We have worked with My-French-House.com for most of two decades, as long as FCG existed, before merging with Currencies Direct.

During this time, we have helped hundreds of Patrick’s clients achieve far better exchange rates than high street banks, while making overseas money transfers much swifter and more efficient.

There are a range of different people Currencies Direct can help. We help clients with smaller transfers, such as living costs, long-term rental or mortgage payments, as well as larger payments for property deposits & balances. We also help a variety of businesses with invoice payments, salaries, and day-to-day FX risk management.

You don’t need an account in a foreign country to use our services, as we can send funds to third-party accounts upon proof of need. Property buyers and businesspeople who use our services come from around the globe, and we trade over 40 currencies.

We are also fully authorised by the FCA in the UK and the Bank of Spain in the EU as an E-money issuer.

For American Buyers in France

Recently, we have seen increased interest from across the Atlantic, with US clients purchasing their dream homes in France.

Despite fluctuations in the USD/EUR rate in 2026, the US dollar stays robust, currently around 0.928 against the euro. This marks an improvement for American buyers compared with early 2026.

Over the past three months (June to August 2026), the dollar has appreciated about 3.5% against the euro, making it an opportune time for US investors to explore French real estate, as the market is set to continue to stabilise. 

A US client of Patrick’s, whom he referred to us this year, was looking to buy a château in southwest France. He knew he wanted to buy but hadn’t been able to find the time to get out to France for a serious look.

He knew the exchange rate was advantageous at the time and wanted to take advantage of what might be the best deal he would ever get. Although he hadn’t found a property, the client decided to secure euros using a spot contract and hold them on account with us until he found his dream home.

Because of our licensing, funds can be held as long as needed, and in this case, our client is still waiting to find that dream home. In doing so, he ensured his property budget remained separate from currency fluctuations and secured a fantastic deal within it.

Top Service for Overseas Property

“In my opinion, the reason the partnership between Patrick and us has worked so well, for so long, is due to our shared view that top-class customer service, and holding ourselves to the highest standards, is the most important thing any of us can do.

If you are looking for your dream home in France, Patrick is the man to do it, and we hope we can assist in getting the money to the Notaire on your behalf to complete your purchase.”
