todays exchange rate

[gemmybear83]

I have found FairFX to be a bit more stable than the high street rates. Over the last month, even with significant fluctuations on TC and Cheque Centre rates, FairFX has hardly budged.

Not long now Zippy

I have to pay my wedding off next month so I hope it stays stable!

Interbank rate has had a strong rise today so TC should rise over the weekend.

Up around 2 cents from its low yesterday to its high today, now $1.5833

Fairfx now 1.56

Fairfx now 1.56

I really MUST stop topping up that card at some point - but with rates like these popping up every now and then, my card keeps shouting: "MORE!"

This maybe the start of the recovery that we are all hoping for. A steady climb over the coming days and weeks ahead getting the rate we have become accustom to.

I've just ordered my FairFX card and got a rate of £1.60 - well chuffed! Thanks for your help with this 2Tiggies (it was a few weeks ago!)

One more question though If I do a bank transfer (have internet banking) how quickly does it 'reach' the card? I get paid during our holiday and may decide to 'top up' card.

The rate is showing at $1.56 you sure it gave $1.60?

You are buying: $160.00 US Dollars on a new FairFX Currency Card
at the FairFX Rate of £1 = $1.5600
Which costs: £102.56
New Currency Card: £9.95
Total: £112.51 Pounds Sterling

Just go into your FairFX account and choose Top Up. You can enter the card details for the bank you want to top up with. Mine always shows instantly.

Great deal for anyone that got it then I suspect it was an error as the interbank rate is only $1.58.

I thought so too but there was an error some time back at 1.57. I clicked on it, saw it and bought. About 10 minutes later I thought I should have bought more and when I went back in it was 1.51 odd. Checked on my account details and it loaded at 1.57 though.

So glad someone was on there at the right time. Well done!

OK Thanks - will practise before I go!

Sorry - rate was $1.56 -good job I'm not an accountant, I'd only had a shandy -honest: I was so excited as had decided to buy when it 'hit' $1.55. DH thinks I'm mad as it doesn't really make much difference.

Well still an excellent rate. As per my previous post, I hit perfect timing to cash in on a glitch about a month ago. If I had had my wits about me, I would have bought more - but then I always say, unless you are ordering a significant amount, a few cents really doesn't make a difference. Well done. Did you get the card free or did you pay the $10 for it? I completely forgot to see if there were freebie links when you first asked about it.

I bought friday morning at 1.5450 and a couple of hours later it was 1.56 - still i was only buying $160 dollars to order the card.

Have top ups planned over the next coupleof weeks to coincide with pay days so will be watching the rate from now till we go!
