Posted: 18 May 2012 16:55I've used them a few times and collected it at the airport with no problems.
That's a very good rate JT but will it hold out until August?

If you read their small print, you'll see that clients money is held in a separate account from their trading account so that should they go bust then customers money is safe....well, at least thats my take on it.
I've used them often with no problem, and would recommend them, best rates around.
The only downside is that you can't pay by card, it has to be by bank transfer but as most folk have online banking nowadays this shouldn't be a problem.

Posted: 18 May 2012 22:33The reason people lost so much on CC was because they 'betted' on geting a good rate at some point in the future. Therefore, they held a lot of peoples money who weren't due to get their currency for months.
With TravelFX, the simple and sensible option is to request next day delivery. Reports of the company struggling will be reported long before you would place an order for next day delivery They are not 100% safe I suppose (they could do a moonlight flit) but the fact money passes so quickly through their hands suggests there isn't much to fear.
