Whether you’re buying a home in Provence, sending a child to university in America, or bringing your salary home from overseas — Misano gives you competitive rates, personal guidance, and complete peace of mind on every transfer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
From overseas mortgage payments and pension transfers to maintaining a property in the sun — Misano handles regular international payments reliably and at competitive rates, with no transfer fees eating into your money each time.
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.
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.
