I have been trying to get through on the phone all day. Nobody picks up the phone or replies to emails. I still have not had my money

Ivor Neckles

Great rates. And they claim can pick up cash in person within an hour or so of booking online. But be careful at weekends. Saturday and Sunday. If you want exchange for cash £ in person and book online they do not warn you that they can run out [...]

The euro rate at ACE-FX right now is 1.145. You'll need to buy or reserve your euros online to guarantee this rate; the euro rate offered in your local store may be lower if you don't order online beforehand.

ACE-FX offer above-average exchange rates and their currency deals are comparable to other independent bureau de change in central London such as eurochange and Currency Online Group . However, you must order your currency online beforehand or you may be given a lower rate over the counter.

If you want the absolute best exchange rate on the market, better deals may be available from other providers, especially if you order online. Check out our travel money comparisons to find the best currency deals available right now.

Cryptocurrency advice firm shut down after investors lost money and director failed to keep proper accounts

Amey Finance Academy Ltd wound-up at the High Court following investigations into the company’s trading by the Insolvency Service

• The Insolvency Service has secured a winding-up order against Amey Finance Academy Ltd at the High Court 
• Amey Finance Academy was created by Desmond Amey in 2018 to offer financial education and advice on cryptocurrency 
• However, some consumers lost their investments based on false assurances made by Amey 
• The company also failed to deliver up-to-date accounts to investigators, meaning its financial dealings could not be scrutinised 

A company which claimed to offer advice to help people invest in cryptocurrency schemes has been shut down following investigations by the Insolvency Service. 

Amey Finance Academy Ltd was wound-up at the High Court in London on Tuesday 30 April. 

The company’s sole director and shareholder Desmond Amey, 42, who described himself as a wealth creation expert, had offered assurances to consumers that their cryptocurrency investments were solid. 

However, complaints were made that consumers lost money in investment opportunities and Amey Finance Academy was classified by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as providing financial services or products in the UK without its authorisation. 

Mark George, Chief Investigator at the Insolvency Service, said: 

Desmond Amey used Amey Finance Academy to recklessly persuade individuals to invest in cryptocurrency schemes and mislead them about the risks of doing so.  His claims to offer a financial education and concierge service will be of no comfort to customers who lost their money in investments he actively encouraged. The failure to deliver adequate accounting records and a general lack of transparency shown has prevented the Insolvency Service from establishing the true extent of the company’s activities, its assets and liabilities, or the use of £5 million which passed through the company’s bank account between October 2019 and March 2022. The public deserve protection from companies trading in an opaque and objectionable manner which is why we applied to have Amey Finance Academy shut down. 

Amey Finance Academy was set up in December 2018, declaring on social media that it was “an established and successful independent consultancy providing a plethora of financial services”. 

The company also claimed to run an industry-leading education academy. 

However, Amey made misrepresentations, assuring one customer who went on to lose all the money they invested that their investment would not drop below 90%. 

In WhatsApp messages seen by Insolvency Service investigators, Amey told another customer the investments were “100 certy” and to “trust me bro”. 

Amey Finance Academy promoted cryptocurrency schemes run by other companies such as HyperFund which raised more than $1.7 billion from investors worldwide. 

Warnings about HyperFund were issued in the UK and New Zealand, with the company also investigated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission who charged its founder with fraud in January 2024. 

In interviews, Amey provided contradictory information about his company’s relationship with HyperFund and said he only used the Amey Finance Academy business bank account to help people buying cryptocurrency via a separate company called Bleuguava. 

His failure to provide up-to-date accounting records meant the Insolvency Service could not establish the true relationship between Amey Finance Academy and HyperFund or Bleuguava. 

Further investigations by the Insolvency Service showed that Amey’s email signature stated he was managing director of Amey Commercial Finance Ltd which was dissolved in 2017. 

His email signature also incorrectly said he was authorised and regulated by the FCA, who issued a warning in July 2022 that his company was unauthorised and targeting people in the UK. 

Amey released a video YouTube in October 2023 implying that he still had a presence at 1 Canada Square at Canary Wharf in London. In reality, he had been evicted for failing to pay rent in January of that year. 

Amey Finance Academy subsequently failed to register an address with Companies House to receive official correspondence. 

The Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator of the company.  

All enquiries concerning the affairs of the company should be made to the Official Receiver of the Public Interest Unit: 16th Floor, 1 Westfield Avenue, Stratford, London, E20 1HZ. Email: [email protected] . 

You can report fraud or cybercrime to Action Fraud any time of the day or night using  their online reporting tool .

Currency Exchange Notes:

• VKO ATM withdrawals and credit card charges will likely incur a 1.5-5.0% conversion factor plus possible other charges such as ATM withdrawal fees. These conversion fees are usually hidden in the transaction, but any ATM withdrawal fees are usually presented with a message for acceptance.
• Some ATM and cash machines at airports and train stations may limit the amount withdrawn on your account. This is to require you to make two or more withdrawals to obtain the cash you need and each withdrawal will have a transaction fee. We recommend either visiting a few ATM's to see if they all have the same limits and if so, get what you need in one transaction and then use another ATM in town that will likely not be restricted.
• Be aware that some ATMs do not give a choice on which account that money will be pulled from. We recommend contacting your bank before travel to see which is your 'default' account. Some ATMs also present accounts as different names as what you are used to: 'chequing', 'checking', and 'current' are regularly interchanged.
• Some VKO currency exchange offices will have variable conversion factors and commission fees. Although many offices will post their current rates on boards, be aware that there may be a transaction fees on currency conversions and these fees are rarely posted on the boards. It is always best to shop around and ask about any potential fees and commissions prior to making a transaction.
• Usually airports and train stations offer better exchange rates than in town due to the local competition, but this is not always the case, especially when there is limited competition.
