With better rates available than would otherwise be offered by the majority of high street banks and lenders, for all your foreign exchange requirements remember to check the financial comparison websites on the Internet before you make your decision of who to go with. If you are new to this, most of the platforms offer a demo account whereby you can trade with virtual money until such time as you are confident enough to trade with your own real funds. The requirements for the account funds range between 0 – Unlimited GBP and the trade minimum amount varies between 1000-100,000GBP, of course depending on the provider you select.
