Has anyone used this company? Does anyone know where I can look up their "credentials"?

Not used them but there are lots of similar companies out there that can be checked. I've used www.hifx.com for some time without problems and found their rates competitive.

Avvie,

Although I've not used GCENs services myself, I am familiar with the company. I know one of the English staff there personally, and could probably put you in touch so you can put your questions to them. I believe they are soon to open (or have just opened) premises in Lagos.

We have used this company to exchange sterling to euros to purchase our property in Carvoeiro.They are an excellent company, very friendly and very efficient.We dealt with Emma Burden who is based in Spain but was recommended by Vernons Property in Carvoeiro.They bought at the very best rate at the time for us far better than the banks.You can use them with complete confidence.Website www.gcen.co.uk or phone 0034 950 133697

Nice to hear that a number of you have enjoyed using GCENs services.

Having spoken with my friend who works there, I now have the contact information for the Lagos Office :

Rebecca Hooton : 918 324 392
(Office Tel : 289 355 105)

Don't forget to mention Carvoeiro.com when you call!

If they give you 1.47 euros to the pound - then what amount of commission do they charge?

Having used this company I can assure you that there is no commission or charges whats so ever. Highly recommended. Why not give them a call it cost nothing to ask ?

Also they do now have an office in Lagos, not far from Lidle supermarket. JB
