About - GC Partners

We’re owners and partners in this business. That’s why we do so much more to provide outstanding service to our clients. Yes, it’s business, but business we care about personally. Since 2003, we’ve made it simple for over 100,000 people like you to transfer money. And, unlike other FX providers, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has granted us permissions to serve a broader range of financial services to major international corporations, accountancy and legal practices, hedge funds, property developers and the institutional investment sector – as well as private clients.
