Re: Transfer money from UBS to RBS

Are you sure it wasn't the other way round? If you were transferring CHF to sterling, it wouldn't make sense for them to give you a better than advertised rate.

Eg You transfer CHF100 at 1.69 = £59.17 at 1.65 it would be £60.61.

The first rule of banking is the customer never wins

Obviously if you were buying CHF they would offer you the lower rate, so it would cost you more £ to buy CHF100.

I think he means the over the counter sell rate was 1.69 and he got 1.65 which is a good bit of saving IMO.

That was my understanding of it anyway.
