Retiring Abroad

Make Your Money Go Further with Smart Foreign Exchange Solutions

Retiring overseas is an exciting milestone — whether you’re looking forward to sunshine, a slower pace of life, or new adventures. But before you pack your bags, it’s important to plan your finances carefully. Moving money internationally isn’t just a bank transfer — currency volatility, hidden fees, and poor exchange rates can cost you thousands.

At St. George Foreign Exchange, we provide tailored currency solutions to help you make the most of your retirement funds. Whether you’re buying property, transferring pension income, or planning monthly expenses, we help you move your money securely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

What is a Forward Contract ?

A Forward Contract is a powerful risk management tool used by businesses and individuals to secure a fixed exchange rate for a future transfer. If you expect to make international payments in the coming months, a forward contract ensures you’ll know exactly what it will cost—regardless of where the market moves.

Why Work With a Foreign Exchange Specialist?

Currency Risk Can Erode Your Retirement Budget

  • The foreign exchange market moves every second — even a 1% shift in rates can mean paying €1,700 more for a €200,000 property. Without expert support, retirees often fall victim to poor timing, excessive bank fees, or unexpected losses.

    We offer:

    • Forward Contracts – Lock in an exchange rate now for up to 12 months
    • Spot Contracts – Transfer immediately at today’s best available rate
    • Market Orders – Set your ideal exchange rate and let the system secure it when available
    • Rate Alerts – Be notified when the market hits your target

    With St. George Foreign Exchange, you gain peace of mind, knowing your retirement money is protected.

Key Financial Considerations for Retirees

Buying a Property Overseas

Buying your dream home abroad? You’ll likely be making large lump sum transfers — the timing of which is crucial. Work with us to:

Monitor live exchange rates

Secure a fixed rate in advance (using forward contracts)

Avoid unexpected costs due to rate fluctuations

Transfer funds quickly, safely, and without fees

Ongoing Retirement Income (Pensions, Investments, Annuities)

Once you’ve moved, regular payments like pensions or dividends will still need to be transferred across borders — and banks can charge fees on every single payment.

We help you:

  • Schedule monthly payments with no transaction fees
  • Lock in preferred rates for recurring income
  • Save significantly over the long term

💸 Save on Fees & Transfer Costs

Unlike traditional banks that apply hidden margins and per-transfer charges, we offer:

✅ Competitive exchange rates
No international payment fees
✅ Secure FCA-regulated transactions
✅ Fast, same-day settlement in most cases

The Pitfalls of Doing It Alone

Many retirees try to manage foreign exchange transfers themselves — often using their local high-street bank. This typically results in:

  • Poorer exchange rates
  • Hidden or multiple transfer fees
  • Lack of expert support or risk management tools
  • Missed opportunities to save money

With St. George Foreign Exchange, you’re never left guessing. Our specialists provide expert advice, real-time market updates, and the right strategy for your personal situation.
