Emigrating to a new country is a major life milestone. Whether you’re relocating for work, family, retirement, or a change of lifestyle, the process involves much more than booking flights and packing boxes. From purchasing property to transferring large sums internationally, understanding the financial and legal landscape is key — and that includes getting the most from your currency exchange.

At Stately FX, we help individuals and families move their money confidently and cost-effectively across borders, every step of the way.

Buying Property Overseas

One of the biggest investments when moving abroad is buying a home. Whether it's a countryside villa in Spain, a city apartment in Canada, or a beachside escape in Portugal, purchasing foreign property comes with additional considerations — especially when it comes to currency risk.

Exchange rates can fluctuate daily. If you’re sending large payments from GBP to EUR, USD or another currency, even a small shift in the rate can cost you thousands. Working with a trusted FX provider like Stately FX gives you access to:

Competitive exchange rates
Personal guidance to time your transfers strategically

Moving Your Belongings Internationally

Shipping your furniture, vehicles, and personal items overseas can be costly and complex. International removals often require deposits, instalment payments, and coordination with logistics firms in different countries.

Many removal companies charge in foreign currencies. That’s where having access to fair and fast international payments becomes vital. Avoid high street bank fees and delays — and gain peace of mind that your money is arriving securely and on time.

The Legal Process and Professional Fees

Emigration typically involves legal fees, notary services, visa applications, and working with estate agents, relocation advisors, or tax consultants. These professionals often bill in the local currency of the country you’re moving to.

Using a multi-currency account from Stately FX allows you to make payments like a local — whether it’s paying a French notaire in euros or a solicitor in Australia in AUD. You can send, hold, and convert funds easily with full transparency on rates and no hidden surprises.

Making the Most of Currency Exchange

One of the most overlooked — but most impactful — parts of emigrating is how you move your money. Whether you’re transferring your life savings, making regular payments, or funding a retirement abroad, using a specialist FX partner can save you significantly versus traditional banks.

At Stately FX, we offer:

Bank-beating exchange rates
Access to over 30 currencies
Dedicated support on all transfers
Secure, same-day payment options
