Chesney Hawkes

Awight,

I have a question for the forum:

Now that we seem to be getting more Pounds for the Dirham (note, UK1 - AED6.75), how am I going to get the best exchange rate - AED to UK sterling?

The only 3 options that I can think of are:

- Lloyds - transfer to offshore account, I get 2 free a month

- GCEN (Global Currency Exchange Network)

- Go into, say, Western Union with cash;

However I don't know which one is the best option. Anybody with a bit of knowledge please let me know.....

Danke Schon

I used GCEN a while back and they were very good. May need to negotiate a bit with the rate to start with - I got a rate identical to that I could get through HSBC on-line and simply told them this. After this they dropped a fair bit.

Check Lloyds then try GCEN...

whats the best bank to use when transferring money to dubai... i got quoted 6.2 by halifax, a disgrace!!

admon

just bring a big bag full of cash like the russians do, or use a company specialised in currency exchange that have already been discussed on these boards..

you now get free transfers daily with Lloyds AED account to your Lloyds offshore account - they introduced this recently
