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.
