About The Money Cloud

the Money Cloud is an international money transfer comparison site that’s focused on giving you clear, honest information, so you can choose the best way to send money overseas.

Trust and value are at the heart of The Money Cloud. We want to give you the confidence to try more cost-effective ways of transferring money abroad, rather than just accepting expensive bank fees. Right now, there’s a real drive for change in the international money marketplace, and we’re here to address that. For the past few decades hidden charges, complicated terms and conditions, and a serious lack of clear, educative resources has made it difficult for people to find the best way to send money. The Money Cloud brings clarity to the marketplace.

The services we offer offers include helping you make the most of your money on your international payments, comparing Forex companies, bank-beating exchange rates and no fees for payments, setting up one-off or regular payments quickly and easily, tailored to your requirements, and 144 currencies covered through a network of authorised and regulated partners.
