Twenty7tec has announced a new partnership with Smart Currency Exchange, bringing an integrated international payments solution to its platform to help advisers better support clients using overseas funds for property deposits.
The partnership enables advisers to identify and support clients transferring money from abroad, including overseas savings, gifted deposits from family members, or inherited funds. Through Smart Currency Exchange, clients can secure guaranteed exchange rates, helping to protect their deposit from currency fluctuations and providing greater certainty throughout the homebuying process.
The move follows industry research showing that 95% of clients holding international funds require support with overseas payments in order to complete their property purchase.
Advisers who refer clients to Smart Currency Exchange will receive 25% of all commissions generated for the lifetime of each client, with average earnings of around £625 per referral. The referral process is fully embedded within the platform, requiring no additional administration or changes to existing workflows.
Clients with international currency exposure are automatically flagged within Twenty7tec, and advisers are prompted to refer them via a dedicated Smart Currency tile. Referred clients benefit from specialist guidance and access to secure, timely, and cost-effective international transfers from a provider that has already transferred more than £12 billion for homebuyers.
Nicholas Partington, partnerships director at Twenty7tec, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Twenty7tec on this integration, which represents a real first for mortgage sourcing. By embedding international payments directly into the adviser journey, we’re helping to remove one of the biggest pain points for clients with overseas deposits or those looking to purchase abroad. This partnership reinforces our commitment to supporting the mortgage market with a high-quality ancillary service that simplifies complex international transfers, while also delivering clear commercial benefits for advisers through a seamless, integrated referral model.”
