Hi Arlene,

aaron no we waited until we got the house money and the rate was so good at 2.57 that we decided to go for it
the beauty of the account is that you can see the exchnage rate on the telly and as soon as it hits a high you transfer it with no charges within minuites we can live on the interest it pays over there arlene |
How did you apply for this account? Was it online? Did you phone somewhere? I would appreciate your reply as this sounds Ideal for me.
