Fexserv

Fexserv is a leading Maltese foreign exchange and financial services company, and its Gozo outlet is in Victoria (Rabat), the island's main town. This page describes the Gozo branch listed at 71 Triq Palma, with the wider company as context.

Fexserv is part of a group that has been trading in Malta since the 1960s, and it holds a licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority, so a UK visitor is dealing with a regulated Maltese financial institution rather than a street kiosk. Our directory lists it under currency exchange in Malta, where you can compare other places to change money.

Who Fexserv is

Fexserv launched in Malta in 1995 under the name Fexco, concentrating on core foreign exchange. It has since grown into a broader financial and investment services business, with a network of branches in San Gwann, Valletta, St Julian's, Fgura, Mosta, Buġibba and Victoria in Gozo. Fexserv Financial Services Ltd is licensed by the MFSA and is a founding member of the Association of Licensed Financial Institutions.

It belongs to the Alpine Group of Companies, which began in car rental in 1967 and now employs more than 200 people across sectors including travel, tourism, hospitality, entertainment, transport and pest control. The group represents Europcar and Carlson Wagonlit Travel in Malta. Chairman Anthony Zahra leads the board, and Lawrence Buttigieg is Group Chief Executive Officer. The company also sets out a community programme built around people, social initiatives and the environment.

Travel money and currency exchange

For most visitors the core service is foreign currency. Fexserv deals in more than fifty currencies, including pounds sterling, US dollars, Swiss francs and Australian and Canadian dollars. A live exchange rate table shows separate rates for selling currency to Fexserv and buying it from them, with an Order button beside each currency, so you can see where the rate stands before you travel.

The same table covers both directions, so you can buy foreign cash from Fexserv or sell leftover currency back to it. Because rates move during the day, the table is the place to check current figures rather than relying on any number printed in a guide. Cheques are another listed service, and a note on the order page warns that stock of some currencies may be limited, so large or unusual orders are best arranged ahead.

Ordering online and collecting in person

Travel money can be reserved through an online booking form. You choose the currency, enter the amount in euros or pounds, add collection details and your travel date, and pick the outlet where you will collect. Gozo is one of the listed collection points, alongside San Gwann, St Julian's, Valletta, Mosta, Fgura and Buġibba, plus two partner travel agencies in Msida and Ħamrun. You will need to give an ID or passport number on the form.

Timing matters if you want a next-day order. Orders placed after 11:30am do not count for next-day collection and move to the following business day, and next-day orders become available after 3pm. Have your travel dates and identity document details ready when you complete the form.

Transfers, Western Union and business accounts

Beyond cash, Fexserv sends SWIFT transfers, the international bank-to-bank payment system used for larger or cross-border payments. It is also a Western Union agent for moving money quickly between people, and it sells One4all gift vouchers. Ding, Paysafe and KnowMeNow also feature among its offers.

For companies, Fexserv offers corporate payment accounts and a corporate business division. That is relevant to anyone running a Maltese company with international suppliers. If you are planning a bigger move, our Malta relocation guide and the overview of financial services in Malta explain the wider picture, and our partner CLA Malta handles company set-up, tax and relocation work.

Visiting Victoria and Gozo

Once your euros are in your pocket, the Gozo guide shows what the island offers, from the Citadel to the beaches. If you plan to stay overnight, browse hotels in Gozo, which are booked through our partner TripX. Boat days to Comino are covered in the Blue Lagoon guide, and Aloha Boat Charters Malta is a nearby operator in our directory.
