Large Transfers
When you're moving £50,000 or more, the exchange rate margin is everything. Aetas Global gives you institutional rates, a named specialist, and forward contracts to protect six-figure sums from market swings.
A large transfer is where the difference between a high-street bank and a specialist becomes impossible to ignore. On £250,000, a typical 3% bank margin is £7,500 of hidden cost, far more than any transfer fee.
Aetas Global provides institutional rates, a dedicated account manager for every large-transfer client, and forward contracts that fix the rate ahead of settlement, turning a high-value transfer from a market gamble into a planned, certain transaction.
The Margin
Banks price retail transfers with a 2–4% margin on top of the interbank rate. On a £2,000 holiday transfer that is a few Pounds; on a £250,000 property or investment transfer it is thousands of Pounds, a cost that is rarely shown on your statement but very real.
Aetas Global sources rates through institutional liquidity channels, applying only a narrow, transparent margin. On a large transfer, that saving is measured in thousands of Pounds, not pennies.
Up to 4% better than retail bank spreads, a saving that scales directly with your transfer size.
Our margin is in the rate, transparently. No £15–£40 transfer fees, no correspondent charges.
Same-day or next-day settlement on major corridors, so your funds arrive on schedule.
Your Specialist
Every large-transfer client is assigned a dedicated account manager, not a call-centre queue. Your specialist knows your currency pair, your timeline, and your goals, and is reachable directly throughout your transfer.
They help you time the conversion, structure forward or limit orders if appropriate, and ensure the documentation and compliance steps for a high-value transfer are handled smoothly.
A named specialist you can reach directly, not re-routed through a generic support line.
Guidance on when to convert, when to lock a forward, and when to use a limit order.
Your transfer is structured around your completion date, payment schedule, or budget, not the market's mood.
Protecting the Rate
Between deciding to transfer and the settlement date, the market can move against you by several percent. On a large transfer that is real money. A forward contract fixes the rate today for settlement up to 24 months ahead.
A limit (market) order instructs your dealer to execute automatically if your target rate is reached, capturing a favourable level without you watching the screen.
Lock in today's rate for up to 24 months, so the Sterling cost of your transfer is fixed.
Auto-execute at your target rate, capturing a favourable level the moment it hits.
Free automated alerts when your pair reaches a level worth acting on.

Frequently Asked Questions
We treat transfers of £50,000 and above as large transfers. Above this threshold the rate advantage over a high-street bank becomes substantial, often several thousand Pounds, and the value of a dedicated specialist and forward contract rises sharply.
