Re: Money Transfers - What Rate Did You Get?
Sounds like some of you are not real the bank exchange rate at the moment is low and stands today at 1.2656 and has not been above 1.27 for some time so you will be very luck to get over 1.228. Sun-pay.com charge £7.00 looking on their web site so you have to look at all the options which ever you use. If you have a monthly standing order/DD then some do not charge charges like Curencies direct.
Just look at all the sites

I just did get 1,25 with Sun-Pay so I guess I must have been lucky
So for my £1000 I got €1241.25 instead of the €1228 .... every penny counts

And I've just checked my statement online and I on the 27th March I definitely did get 1.286, costing me £233.25 for 300€.
I'll agree it is alot less than I used to get. I always worked on 300€ costing me around £215.

Sent some money yesterday and got 1.24 (HSBC Premiere account)
It's been hovering just below 1.27 for days now but just won't make it!

Hi
Used sterling cheque and paid in to Spanish bank account.£3000 got me 3818.36 euros, works out at 1.27 rate. This was 4th April.
Compared to January, I got then a rate of 1.33, and November 2007 I got 1.44!!
Should have booked in advance, 20/20 hindsight is a great thing!!
