How to get a great foreign exchange rate 05.08.2011 From Peter Lavelle at foreign exchange brokers Pure FX Plan to up sticks and begin a new life under the French sun? Then one of the eight or nine million things to get done before purchasing that beautiful gite is sending funds abroad. For the unprepared person however this can be a mine field. Imagine for instance that you amble into your bank one morning, and request an exchange rate on a transfer into euros. The manager mightn’t tell you, but the exchange rate or she provides could in all likelihood be the absolute pits. How then do you avoid this mine field, and find an exchange rate that doesn’t involve being fleeced for several thousand pounds? For this, I have compiled some hints and tips beneath. Take a gander, and then feel free to pick up the phone and get in touch! Our specialist dealers would love to help with your transfer. 1. Look out for the banks! Like I mentioned, using a bank to change euros is the currencies equivalent of throwing yourself to the wolves. For instance, imagine that your funds are a cappuccino. Banks look to skim as much of the nice white foam as possible, leaving you with plain old coffee. Not the best option in other words! 2. Get a better rate! Contact a currency broker To take the pain out of changing currencies then, your 1st port of call should be a foreign exchange broker. For brokers, changing currencies is as natural as breathing, meaning you can anticipate a tip top exchange rate. Even better, exchange brokers hold a keen gaze on the foreign exchange markets, meaning you can receive specialist help about the time to transfer too. 3. Plan plan plan Last of all, to make transferring funds to France smooth sailing the best bet is to plan. Think about beaming the funds abroad as soon as possible, so you’re not landed with a dismal exchange rate at the last minute. Get in touch! To learn more about sending funds to France then, feel free to contact us at foreign exchange brokers Pure FX. You can telephone us at +44 1494 671800 or email enquiries@purefx.co.uk.
