CurrencyFair began as the answer to a common problem; expats looking for a cheap, simple way to move money to and from their new home countries. The easiest way to achieve this was swapping with friends who had the corresponding need. This simple idea worked well, so the natural evolution was a service that would make this option available to everyone.
