When transferring money abroad we advise using a specialist foreign exchange broker and not the high street banks. Brokers and banks often do not charge commission, however most importantly it is the exchange rate you achieve which can vary considerably between institutions that determines a good deal from a bad deal. Buy your Polaris World property through Villa Cashback and that deal is improved further with our commission cashback credit.

Villa Cashback takes no commission or introduction fee for clients who purchase their property through us (*). This is rolled back into your foreign exchange rate by Caxton fx making it even more competitive.
Rates can be typically 1% - 3% more favourable with an exchange broker who will operate on small margins close to the mid point of the exchange rate at the time. This could save you a few thousand euros on a property purchase. (see example above based on actual quotes producing saving of 2.21%).
