According to its official website, A Place in the Sun Currency is a British payment institution founded in 2008 that provides currency exchange and international payment services to people buying, maintaining or selling property abroad. The company is majority owned by APITS Ltd, the organiser of the A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions and the team behind aplaceinthesun.com. The site says A Place in the Sun Currency Ltd is regulated in the UK by the FCA as an Authorised Payment Institution (FRN 504353) and supervised by HMRC for anti-money laundering, and that its Spanish subsidiary A Place in the Sun Currency Europe SL, which serves EU residents, is regulated by the Bank of Spain (Banco de España) under reference 6932. The company offers spot transfers, forward rate fixing, regular overseas payments and repatriation of funds to the UK, dealing in GBP, EUR, USD, CHF, NOK, SEK, DKK, CAD, AUD, NZD, AED and SAR. The service is run through a named account manager by phone, email and WhatsApp rather than an online platform; it says it charges no fees or commission and earns a margin on the exchange rate. Client funds are held in safeguarded accounts; the FSCS does not apply. It has offices in Rickmansworth (Hertfordshire) and on Spain's Costa Blanca. This information is the company's own statement.
