Default money beans cash coinage moolah

we have been looking around at the best way to change a couple of thousand pounds in to aussie dollars (for our validation trip) anyone got any suggestions on where to get the best rate etc.

if it helps we already have an aussie bank account and could use this for a transfer or any other method.

on holiday there in 2001 we took a fortune in travel cheques but in the end we used my barclay card at the hotels a.t.m machine it was so easy and we got a good exchange rate aswell. it just saved messing around with i.d and waiting ages to be served at the hotels check in. we didnt get charged a fortune by barclays either cheers jonni boy

anyone used tranzfers ?

are they any good? we have looked at HIFX but they want a minimum of 5K and that is a bit more than we want to spend in a month.

Billy, I use Tranzfers a lot, have done for several months and they are very good. You move your money to their holding account then they pay it into the account the other side. All done over the net, costs £7 or $15 a transaction, regardless of amount of money moved. Quite quick too - money leaves my account in Oz on Thursday am, and is in the UK account Tuesday.
