It's ok all,
Far simpler than i thought..
Just been onto ASB bank in timaru, and im suprised to hear i can transfer it online for $25.
Any amount for $25, thats good eh..
Just expected it to be a bit more complicated than that..
Went on ASB after reccomendations from a few of you on here and ther's one in Timaru.
Thanks
And please do tell me if im asking silly questions.... :-)

You could also look at comapnies such as HiFX who specialise in foreign transfers and may get you a better rate/deal

and also NZForex where you can do it all on-line virtually. Just specify where you want the money to go .

You really should shop around, most of the currency traders DON'T charge a fee. Seriously, don't use the banks, $25 might be ok for a one off charge but after a few transfers it really adds up. Hifx, as suggested above, are good.
Here's two more to check.

http://velocitytrade.co.nz/ (minimum of $4,000. No fee)

I use XETrade, they are good. Don't use banks, you will get a MUCH better rate from one of the currency dealing houses.

Hi all just wondering if anyone has used Halo Financial to transfer funds to NZ. They were recommended to me by Pickfords. They rang me to set up with them and the agent was very helpful and took time to explain it all even if it all didnt sink in, you know what its like when your on the phone I have looked at two others moneycorp and HiFX just not contacted them. Any info appreciated

There's always Paypal....you could set up your NZ account and then transfer to UK account. Don't know what the charges might be each transaction though...

The only fee I had to pay was in NZ, my bank charges for an international deposit
You can set up a limit order if you are willing to wait for your money, it means that they automatically buy NZ$ for you when the exchange rate hits a predetermined level. You then pay them in pounds.
Halo also send out a weekly currency bulletin via email if you are registered with them.
