I've just received a quote from TravelFX.

I'm just so nervous nowadays about dealing with any one other than over the counter Exchange bureau having lost a minor amount with CCE.

Oh what to do

My currency came today from TravelFX - special delivery.

$800 for £502.20

My only gripe is that it's all 100 dollar bills

 

[disney_princess_85]

$1.57 isn't bad at all. Here's hoping for $1.60 soon!

FairFX isn't looking that great though! For some reason it's dropped to $1.5775, despite the interbank rate still being $1.61 It was at least $1.5825 earlier so why've they dropped then the exchange rate hasn't?!

Interbank has dropped almost 1.5 cents since its peak yesterday morning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market_data/currency/11/12/intraday.stm I guess FairFX are being on the cautious side.

 

[london75]

I was reading that the higher price incorporated speculation that interest rates would rise. Now every bit of bad news hits the rate negatively as it's not been priced in. Today it was the bank tax being demanded all in one go rather than phased.

Followed the 1st one for about 3-4 years and they have never been anywhere near reality. You can see they are already about 10 cents out on this months guess. No idea why they do it

BOE kept interest rates at 0.50% wonder how this will affect the exchange rate.
