Gerson FX
Save on International Money Transfers
Most people who move money internationally use their bank because it feels convenient and they are largely unaware of the charges. There is a better alternative.
Why not use a reputable specialist FX company, where you can remove the bank charges and receive a much better FX rate?
Pay Online
It couldn’t be easier
Paying for your move couldn’t be simpler with Gerson Relocation.
We use WorldPay, a reputable, secure and simple way of paying by credit card online. We can also take payment by card over the phone.
Last year we moved thousands of couples and families
to and from over 120 countries around the world.
Moving with your Employer
If you are moving with your career, your employer may provide you with funding or a lump sum. We can help you move and make all the arrangements with your employer.
A Personal Move
If you are moving overseas, whether you have a city centre apartment or large detached home, we offer a full international household goods moving service. Please also check with us, to see whether your existing company has a corporate rate already agreed with us.
Expert advice and guiding you through your Relocation
We provide you with an experienced Move Manager who will guide you through the process of your international move. They will provide you with the information you need and keep things simple.
If you are using our home finding or additional services, then they will help to bring all these together as one process.
Importantly your Move Manager will help with the detailed documentation, legal and administration requirements which will be required.
Home-to-home International Moving Service
We provide a complete service. We cover everything, from our professional home packing service and transportation of your personal items and the customs clearance, to delivery and placement your personal items in your new home at destination and helping you settle-in.
International Moving Experts and Professional Crews
We are not a “man and a van” and we are not the cheapest company – but we are cost-effective by saving you money through good advice.
Poor advice or documentation will delay your move, create costly fees and create stress when you could be enjoying your new home.
We provide experienced international moving experts to ensure your international move goes to plan and you avoid these issues.
Pre-move Survey and Video Survey Options
We will conduct a professional pre-move survey of your items to determine the volume of items you wish to move and to provide a consultation on the best and most cost-effective plan to fit your requirements.
This can be by one of our move surveyors visiting you in the home, or as a video survey with them using our clever and convenient mobile device app. The video survey works in a similar way to a Video call. It is super quick and easy to do.
Gerson FX: Save on International Money Transfers
Most people who move money internationally use their bank because it feels convenient.
However, they will normally have to pay bank charges and be reliant on their exchange rates.
The alternative is to use a specialist FX company, where you can remove the bank charges and receive a much better FX rate.
If you would like to use an FX company there are many out there to choose from, so we recommend you shop around and check their credentials.
Gerson Relocation have partnered with Western Union to provide you with a reduced rate from a reputable company who provide a regulated service which enables you to transfer money internationally.
Through Western Union, you save money on the bank charges, you get access to an adviser, the best FX rates (always check against the market to get your best deal with your WU adviser) and the peace assurance of the regulated and well established Western Union FX business.
