International Removals
Migration Services
Make sure you’re working with the right partners
Having the right players on your team is an essential part of a successful move overseas. They can remove a lot of the stress, help you avoid the many pitfalls and save you significant amounts of money.
We are often asked to recommend the best providers for various migration services and so we have listed below our most trusted partners in the migration industry. These are the people we turn to when we are going abroad.
PSS International may receive a commission if you use any of these services, but we have negotiated special corporate rates and VIP service for our customers so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving them a click.
Currency Exchange
If you are transferring anything more than the contents of your kids piggy bank abroad, it is absolutely vital that you get a quote from a specialist international money exchange company. The savings you make compared to your high street bank could pay for your whole move abroad and still have money left over for your rainy day fund (although hopefully there won’t be many rainy days where you are going).
The recent fluctuations in exchange rates mean savings can be even greater. FC Global Payments is the best we know in the industry and specialise in getting you more for money.

Overseas Banking
If you’re moving Down Under, why not organise a bank account before you leave? Our partners at Westpac are the only Australian bank with a retail branch in London where you can open an account up to 12 months before you move even if you don’t have an address in Australia yet!
