Aston is capable of transacting all of the majors currencies, such as EUR, USD, GBP and other G20 currencies. Please contact a member of the Aston team to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Aston has a minimum transaction value of £5,000 but for clients that have occasional, smaller payments, we can be flexible to their needs. There is no upper limit to the value of transactions you can undertake with Aston, subject to market liquidity in any given currency.

All of our processes and systems have been set up with you, the client, in mind. Once your trading facility has been set up, in most cases, you can trade on the same day. We want to make the process as ‘hassle free’ as possible and we will take you through step by step before any trade is placed so you have a complete grasp of the processes.

To your bank you may be just another account number and may be treated as if you have no real understanding of foreign currency exchange rates or spreads. Although you may be transacting considerable amounts, you may find you are not receiving as competitive a rate of exchange (including fees) as you could receive. Further, detailed analysis and overt charges may not be easily available from the bank to allow you to make an informed decision on your transactions. Aston strives to improve all of these factors for you. To us you are the very reason we exist. Our service delivery, pricing and execution should reflect that.
