Why Misano

A more competitive alternative. More personal than the apps.

Like banks and all other currency providers, Misano makes its money through the exchange rate margin — it’s built into the rate rather than charged as a separate fee. The difference is that our margin is typically 0.5% to 4% smaller than what a high-street bank would offer, with no additional fees on top.

That means more of your money arrives at its destination, every time — alongside the personal, one-to-one service that online platforms cannot match. You’ll have a direct line to our team whenever you need us, whether you’re dealing with a property purchase or simply checking a rate from home in the evening.

How we can help

Every reason to move money, covered.

Overseas property

Buying or selling property abroad

Currency movements can shift the cost of a property purchase by tens of thousands of pounds in a matter of days. A 5% move on a €500,000 French farmhouse is €25,000 — enough to derail a purchase entirely.

Misano lets you lock in your exchange rate up to 12 months in advance, so the price you agreed is the price you pay — regardless of what the markets do between offer and completion.

  • Spot rates for immediate transfers
  • Forward contracts to fix the rate up to 12 months ahead
  • 10% deposit secures your rate — balance due on settlement
  • Transfer to overseas accounts or solicitors in any currency

Education & tuition fees

School and university fees overseas

International school and university fees — paid termly or annually, often in a foreign currency — are exactly the kind of regular, high-value payments where exchange rate fluctuations can cause real financial strain.

We can set up reliable, recurring transfers directly to the school, university, or your child’s personal account — and fix the rate in advance so you know exactly what you’ll pay, every term.

  • Direct payments to schools and universities worldwide
  • Regular transfers to student personal accounts
  • Forward contracts to fix termly or annual fee payments
  • Transfers to virtually any country and currency

Salaries & bonuses

Overseas earnings, brought home

If your salary or bonus is paid in a foreign currency, you shouldn’t have to accept whatever rate your bank gives you on the day it arrives. Misano lets you convert at a competitive rate — or fix the rate in advance so you know exactly what will land in your account each month.

  • Competitive rates for immediate conversions
  • Forward contracts for salary predictability month to month
  • Transfer to any nominated UK or overseas bank account
  • Available for one-off bonuses or regular salary payments

  • Pension payments into overseas accounts
  • Supporting family members living abroad

Client story

The Tan family — education payments made simple

Two children from the Tan family are studying in the UK. Mr and Mrs Tan use Misano to transfer school and university fee payments directly from their Hong Kong bank account. Rather than accepting a new rate each term, they fix the exchange rate up to a year ahead, paying a 10% deposit. Their payments arrive on time, the cost is known in advance, and there are no surprises.

Forward contracts

Lock in your rate.
Eliminate the risk.

A forward contract lets you fix today’s exchange rate for a transaction happening up to 12 months in the future. You pay a 10% deposit to secure the rate, and the balance on or before the settlement date.

For anyone buying property abroad, making regular overseas payments, or planning a large transfer, it removes exchange rate uncertainty entirely — and it costs nothing extra.
