We talk to a happy customer and this month it’s Deidre O’Connell from Ireland who recently made her first currency transfer with Smart

Tell us about your transfer?
Just last month I transferred €10,000 from Ireland to an account in the UK.

What was the transfer for?
To assist with a deposit on an apartment being purchased by my recently married son.

Who was your Smart trader and how was the service?
James Thorpe – he’s very good at his job! I was really impressed with the service, by its speed, efficiency and competitive rates but most of all by the professional, helpful staff. From first contact there were clear instructions and a step-by-step process, which was easy to follow. Following the transfer I received the paperwork in an easy-to-file distinctive pack. I will use Smart Currency again.

Do have a home abroad?
Yes, an apartment in Marbella. We don’t go there often enough but hope to go more as we get older!

What’s your favourite type of holiday?
One that includes sun, golf, exercise, family and fun!

If you won the lottery on Saturday?

What’s your favourite banknote?
The Mexican peso – it shows a picture of real people working!
