Importing a car?
Pay the dealer in
their currency.
Whether you're importing a classic from Germany, a sports car from Japan, or a supercar from Italy - pay in the local currency at a rate your bank can't match.
The exchange rate is part
of the purchase price.
When you import a vehicle, you're paying a foreign dealer in their currency. Whether that's euros for a German marque, yen for a Japanese import, or dollars for an American classic - the exchange rate you get is a direct part of what the car costs you.
Banks add 2-4% to the mid-market rate and charge transfer fees on top. For a €60,000 car that margin could add over £1,500 to the cost. We send the payment directly to the dealer in their currency at a far better rate - quickly and securely.
Better rate than your bank
We offer institutional interbank rates with a single transparent margin - typically far better than anything a retail bank quotes on international transfers.
Direct to the dealer
We pay the dealership or auction house directly in their local currency. EUR, JPY, USD, CHF - whatever they require, handled efficiently.
Fast settlement
Most payments reach European dealers within 1 business day. Japan and USA typically settle in 1-2 days. We'll confirm timings for your specific transfer.
Lock the rate before you bid
Buying at auction or in a time-sensitive deal? We can lock in your exchange rate before you commit - so you know exactly what the car costs in pounds.

A Porsche from Germany
- what the rate
actually costs.
A buyer sources a classic Porsche 911 from a dealer in Stuttgart priced at €85,000. He needs to pay in euros and his bank quotes a GBP/EUR rate of 1.12 with a £25 transfer fee.
Using Stately FX at a rate of 1.165, the same payment costs £72,961 - a saving of £3,042 on the same transaction, with the funds arriving directly to the dealer the next working day.
