General Terms & Conditions




Summary of General Terms & Conditions

Each contract that you enter into with us consists of two elements, namely (a) the Currency exchange and (b) the Money Transfer.

“We”, “Us” or “Our” means TT Express UAB trading as TurboTransfers (hereinafter TurboTransfers).


The Currency exchange is where we purchase a particular currency from you at an agreed rate of exchange (for example pounds sterling in exchange for euro or dollar). We hold the exchanged monies (the “Exchanged Funds”) in a separate client trust account on your behalf until such time as the Money Transfer takes place.


The Money Transfer - The Money Transfer is when the Exchanged Funds are transferred to an account of your choice.


The Currency exchange that we offer is where an exchange rate is agreed between you and us and you provide the full amount of the purchase monies for the Currency exchange up front. The Currency exchange then settles on the same day as the contract has been entered into and you have provided us with cleared funds. This means that your Exchanged Funds can be sent to the appropriate account on the same day as the contract has been entered into.


The exchange rate agreed between you and us is valid for a limited period of time which we state in a Confirmation Note provided to you. If we receive the Money from you after our exchange rate offer expired we may choose effect the Currency exchange by applying our Reference exchange rate which is valid at the time of receipt of your money.


Reference exchange rate is a rate of exchange that is offered on our website www.TurboTransfers.com which constitutes a valid offer for exchange of currencies for a limited period of time and for the specific amount requested, which we also state in a particular Currency exchange Confirmation Note provided to you.


Fees and Charges

Save as set out below we do not levy any charges, fees or commission for the purchase of currency under Contracts which are properly executed and performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of contract. We apply transaction fee for Money Transfers with or without a Currency exchange depending on particular combination of currencies exchanged and destination country/bank of the money transferred. Transaction fees are stated on our website www.TurboTransfers.com for the specific Money Transfers requested, which we also state in a particular Currency exchange and/or Money Transfers Confirmation Note provided to you.

The transmission or receipt of funds may incur charges from the relevant bank. For details of any such charges you should check with the recipient’s bank directly. For payment transactions the payee and payer must pay any charges levied by their bank. This is known as a bank charges SHARE (or SHA) arrangement. The amount transferred to the intended recipient of funds will be net of fees, charges and commissions.


The Conclusion of a Contract

When you submit an order to enter into a contract through our website, email message or by signing paper-based order form, having agreed an exchange rate (or agreeing to our rules of applying an exchange rate to a contract) with us, should we accept your order, a contract will exist between you and us. Once a contract has been concluded, any inflows of money to our accounts from you or for your benefit from any third parties shall constitute final confirmation of the contract and irreversible instruction to execute the Currency exchange and/or The Money Transfer. If you breach the confirmed contract, you will be liable for any losses we incur on closing out or matching the contract, which will at least in part be dependent on movements in the exchange rate and any other factual circumstances related to fulfilling our obligations stipulated by the confirmed contract.
