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.
