Re: Pound - AUD exchange rates
Now that I've sent the money, the rate will undoubtedly get better. Just my luck

Re: Pound - AUD exchange rates
No use to you now, but I get inter-bank rate doing transfers from HSBC UK to HSBC AU. Got 2.077 when I did a transfer of £2k the other week. I'm kicking myself now that I didn't transfer more

Re: Pound - AUD exchange rates
just called in, told me 2.0129. Only time I have to pay charge is if it is under 5grand Uk. they also cover the receiving charge etc, so the amount i book is the amount that hits wherever im sending it...

If think I should stop looking at the exchange rate from here on in, as it's a done deal for me now and I can only stand to get depressed if the rate gets any better ;-)

Re: Pound - AUD exchange rates
That's pretty good. You would get around AU$200 more than me on a transfer of £10,000 with that rate. But then again, the spread over any given day would amount to delta of more than that amount anyway so it's swings and roundabouts.

Apologies - fora or forums (search for foreign exchange) - I personally would not give a recommendation on someone I had not used - have used HIFX and happy with their service - ozforex is mentioned in other threads, plus others. If and when we sell the house and need to make a large transfer, I will be plugged into at least 2 or 3 for their rates.

Drive yourselves daft and start reading this daily.
At the moment they are predicting the AUD is nearing the top, but that's against the USD. The pound will probably keep sliding against the AUD, that being a reflection of just how much debt the UK economy has taken on with the quantative easing.
