Re: Best way to change 5000CHF to GBP

You can check the cash rates of all banks from their websites and do a wholesale comparison at www.oanda.com/convert/classic

If you transfer the cash electronically the UK bank will charge about 7 quid to receive it if you dont send it in GBP.

I appreciate 1% is 20 quid but thats about the margin you'll save, whatever you choose, what's the hours of your time/mental health worth?

Hope this helps
Yes, pretty much.

Someone else posted some website (xe.com?) to send cash abroad a week or so ago.

The rate is fractionally lower than UBS, maybe GBP 9 better of over there for CHF 5000.
But: it takes up to 5 day not 3 hours...
