Are you looking to move money from one country to another? Before making your international money transfer, look at our three tips below to find out more about how to secure a great exchange rate (or even lock one in for up to a year), timing your transfers, and why different institutions offer different pricing.
Get the Timing Right for your Overseas Currency Transfer
Exchange rates move all day every day. It could be that economic data, interest rates, or politics are playing into the value of your currency pair, so timing your transfer is essential. How do you know when it’s a good time to make your currency transfer? Speaking to a currency broker is an excellent way to get the guidance of foreign exchange specialists who watch the market all day. We consider market conditions and upcoming events, and can help you choose opportune times to trade, in line with your needs and timescales.
Do your Research – Exchange Rates Aren’t All Equal
You might check your exchange rate at exactly the same time from different providers—like banks, airport kiosks, or currency brokers—and find they’re all different. But why is that? Different institutions charge different amounts for the currency transfer service, and take a profit known as a spread. That’s the difference between the amount they buy the currency for, and the amount you pay for it and it can vary significantly.
A few digits difference may not seem like a lot, but when you’re making a larger money transfer or regular payments, it soon adds up.
