Don't lose pounds to the rate between your Shovar payments.
Adesco converts GBP to NIS at the live market rate with no hidden fees and processes most transfers same-day, while UK banks typically take three to seven business days. On a property purchase, that rate difference saves British buyers thousands of shekels across their staged Shovar payments.
Adesco has operated since 2013, is licensed by the Israel Capital Market Authority (License 57103), and holds client funds in segregated accounts at major Israeli banks. A dedicated advisor monitors the GBP/NIS rate and confirms it with you in writing before every payment.
The problem
The GBP/NIS rate between payments is the cost most buyers miss.
When you buy property in Israel from the UK, you are not making one payment. You are making several, spaced weeks or months apart. Each one is denominated in NIS, but your money is in GBP. Between your first Shovar and your final payment, the GBP/NIS rate can shift significantly. Most buyers do not think about this until they are mid-transaction and the numbers have moved against them.
Adesco monitors the rate and advises before each payment. You are not watching a screen alone.
