Emigrating to Portugal
If you and your family are moving to Portugal, this is sure to be a very busy period of your life. There are so many things that you'll need to take care of, and one essential detail is often forgotten or left until the very last minute... changing your money over into euros. Sure, this may be at the bottom of your priority list, but it's something that really needs to be at the top. Choosing the right time to change over your money and getting the best exchange rate can certainly help with your financial security for your new life in Portugal.
You could end up saving yourself a lot of money if you decide to change your money with a specialist currency broker rather than a high street bank. With a currency broker you’ll get all the expert professional guidance you'll need to know about getting the most for your money during your currency exchange. On top of all the savings you'll make with the great exchange rates we can offer we won't even charge you commission on your exchange, so in effect you'll be saving money twice.
Exchange rates are always changing, and to protect yourself from volatility in the market you could fix the rate for up to a year. By planning ahead you could end up saving yourself thousands of dollars which will get you off to the best possible start in your new life in the Portuguese sunshine.
The team at TorFX are very experienced in the currency market, and are here to pass that information on to you. Not only will you have your very own personal account manager to walk you through your exchange, but you'll also get regular email updates to keep you posted on the market, and how the daily changes are affecting your money.

We understand just how daunting it can be when you're moving to Portugal to start a new life, and we are here to lighten the load a little and to take the financial worry out of your big move abroad.
