CurrencyFair Named Europe’s #1 Currency Exchange Platform

We are absolutely delighted to announce that CurrencyFair has been named the Top Currency Exchange Platform in Europe for 2026 by Financial Services Review.

What makes this win extra special is that it wasn’t decided by a small committee behind closed doors. It was voted for by the readers themselves, a savvy group of C-Suite executives, CFOs, and finance professionals who know exactly what it takes to keep money moving reliably in today’s world.

Taking the Stress Out of International Transfers

Whether you’re an expat sending money home or a business owner paying suppliers in another hemisphere, we know that international transfers can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Between hidden fees and "where is my money?" uncertainty, it’s enough to give anyone a headache.

At CurrencyFair, we’ve worked hard to turn those complex "multi-step journeys" into what we call controlled execution. By using a local-in, local-out model, your money doesn’t actually have to cross a dozen borders and intermediary banks. It stays on local rails (like SEPA here in Europe), making it faster, safer, and much easier on the pocket.

As our Divisional CEO, Jan Lorenc, put it in the award feature:

"Our platform was born from expats moving their life savings across borders, so we built it from day one for high-trust, high-value transactions. Today, that same design supports individuals and SMEs across more than 150 countries with predictable, transparent money movement."

Why the Experts Gave Us the Nod

The finance pros and executives who voted for us aren't easily swayed by flashy apps; they look for practical, cost-effective solutions that actually work when it matters most. Here’s why they reckon we’re leading the pack in 2026:

• Total Transparency: We don't believe in hiding markups in the exchange rate. We show you our bank-beating rates upfront, alongside a simple, flat €3 fee. It’s honest, clear, and fair.
• Ready When You Are: We’ve evolved our model to ensure you get instant execution. No more waiting around for "matches" we provide the liquidity ourselves so you can get on with your day.
• A Safe Pair of Hands: Being voted #1 by the C-Suite shows that the biggest players in the industry trust our security and regulatory integrity. We treat every transfer whether it’s for a first home or a corporate merger with the same level of professional care.

A Big Thank You to Our Community
