Please help.....money exchange
Hi folks,
I really need some help...We are due to fly out soon and want to transfer our UK money to our Oz bank account. I've tried looking at Ozforex and Money Corp as well as a couple of others but I'm a tad confused and nervous....
How does it work? I've never done anything like it and as it's our lives savings .....
Our UK bank will charge us £30 to transfer our funds but the exchange rate they offer is £1 - $2.36...I've checked out the exhcange rate at these other places and it's about £1 - $2.499
Can someone please give me an idots guide as to how it all works....please.
Cheers
Ginny

I wouldn't go with your bank as that exchange rate is well below what I was quoted on ozforex the other day, which was 2.44 and it's gone up since then.

I'm dreading not having any internet access, don't know what I'll do without it
We're just waiting on the searches to be finished then we can arrange a date for exchange etc. Getting a bit excited now. We are pushing for mid June as I know the kids are off school in Adelaide the first two weeks of July and I want to get accommodation as cheap as possible.
I can't believe it's only 2 weeks for you, it's really flown past. Have a safe journey
