Ibanista レビュー 

Ben and the team at Ibanista were so incredibly helpful and, frankly, critical to the success of our home purchase in France. Their advice was timely and wise, and the work with moving currency proved invaluable at a time when the US dumpster fire of a government was causing so much instability. And then the help in setting up utilities and navigating that process helped us enjoy the purchase of the home.

I would absolutely recommend Ben and the team to anyone looking to buy a place in France.

Ben at IBANISTA was simply wonderful. He is so knowledgeable and efficient and held our hands throughout our purchase of a small second home in The South West of France. He maximised our funds and also gave us lots of helpful advice. No hesitation in recommending him to everyone- thank you Ben.

Ben and the team at Ibanista were absolutely brilliant. They couldn’t be more helpful - including liaison with French agents. They were extremely reliable and went over and above to ensure that we were able to convert Euros to Sterling with ease and at the best possible rate. Thank you Ben!

Working with Benjamin Small at Ibanista has been an absolute pleasure!
His professionalism, expertise, and dedication make the property search process smooth and as stress-free as possible.
I highly recommend Benjamin and his team to anyone looking for TRUSTED guidance—you’ll be in excellent hands!

Many thanks to Ben and Richard for their sound advice, which was particularly valuable in volatile markets.
Their responsiveness and availability were decisive in helping us achieve our objective under excellent financial conditions.
A quality service, to be recommended without the slightest hesitation!

Ben was a huge help in our search for a long-term rental in France. We’d heard plenty of horror stories about how tough it can be for Americans to rent there, so we reached out to him for guidance.

He gave us really clear info about the whole process, and with his advice, we actually ended up finding a place on our own. Even then, Ben didn’t just step away—he helped us review the lease and explained some of the finer details about renting in France.

He really knows his stuff and was super easy to work with. We’d definitely reach out to him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for help with renting in France.

I am so grateful to have found Ibanista. I now have my dream apartment in France, and am making plans for my international move. I told Ben exactly what I wanted and he didn't stop until he found it. It is better than what I was hoping for. Beautiful city, beautiful apartment, walkable, charming, and happy to accept my big dog.

We found Ben very helpful and friendly as we searched for our Bordeaux furnished apartment rental. Ben heard our requirements and found an excellent match and was helpful with advise as we went through the identification and lease signing processes. We thoroughly recommend Ibanista.

With Ben's help, we were able to find a fantastic home at a reasonable price while we waited for our home purchase to be completed. He was always very responsive and provided the reassurances we needed when making a move to a foreign country.

If finding an apartment in France seems daunting, then Ben Small is your secret weapon.

Raised in France, Ben doesn't just speak the language—he speaks the unwritten cultural code that makes all the difference. His connections throughout the French real estate world open doors that would remain firmly shut to most foreigners.

What truly sets Ben apart is how he combines professional expertise with genuine kindness. After having Ben speak to my BootCamp group, everyone was impressed by his comprehensive knowledge and approachable style. He breaks down the complex process into manageable steps, sparing you from the bureaucratic marathon it could otherwise be.

For anyone serious about finding a long-term rental in France, Ben Small isn't just helpful—he's essential.

I cannot recommend Ben Small highly enough. He worked tirelessly for me to get me the best possible rate from France, and he waited until he did just that. He is the nicest person and always gets back to you if he's unavailable; he felt more like a friend than someone who was doing a financial transaction for me. I cannot praise his professionalism and kind demeanour enough.

Ben was recommended to us by our estate agent in France and I can see why. Ibanista (Ben) is more than just a currency agent, a whole lot more. He is always there if you need to speak to him and if he can’t speak immediately he’ll email you with a timeframe :) Not only that, he produces highly informative podcasts.

He is a one stop shop. I cannot thank Ben enough for his help. I’ve had many a wobbly moment along the way and he’s always been there to guide me and to steady my nerves; so easy to talk to and so knowledgeable. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Ben :)

Ben was great, and easy to deal with. He was available when we requested his time, and he got us the best possible deal. The process to exchange the money, and then retrieve the money was fast and simple. I would highly recommend.

Ben made our experience of transferring funds from France very easy.
I would happily recommend him to everyone.

Ben provided a very professional foreign exchange service for our house purchase in France. Very experienced in this field and a pleasure to do business with. His expertise in working with our French notaire was invaluable. Would not hesitate to use Ibanista again. They were the perfect match for us.

I can highly recommend Ibanista, in particular, Ben Small who made the whole process of transferring our money completely stress free. We sold our house in the UK and Ben was always available to talk things through, kept us updated and was just lovely to deal with from start to finish.

Ben Small made an unfamiliar experience feel OK. Something I know nothing about is always scary, but he instilled a feeling of safety. Trust is probably the word I am looking for. He made the exchange and delivery of currancy to notaire and bank account seamless. And he helped me with acquiring auto insurance. I couldn't ask for more. Being from the US I am unused to kindness in business. It is sorely welcomed.
I recommend Ibanista.

Ben was great. Very helpful and went above and beyond to help get my money over to the UK from Canada.

I echo all the 5-star reviews about working with Ben Small. His experience and breadth of knowledge made the process of transferring funds fast and stress-free. He was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. We're so grateful that he was recommended to us, and we will not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

I cannot recommend Ibanista and Ben Small highly enough. We purchased a Care Package and used their services to exchange money for a house purchase, and Ben went above and beyond to assist us. Not only did he expertly handle the transfer of funds for buying our property in France, but he also liaised with our notaire, helped us set up bank accounts, and ensured utilities were transferred seamlessly.

Ben is an absolute pleasure to work with – patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about how things operate in France. His insider insights were invaluable, and he even guided us to the perfect internet system for our small business.

The level of service and personal care provided by Ben has been exceptional, making what could have been a daunting process smooth and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Ben and Ibanista. Their expertise and dedication are a rare find.
