Anyone know? I heard NatWest but I wanted to check. Also, would they charge you commission if you don't bank with them?

I'm like that really expensive cheese they leave to fester and congeal and have maggots crawling around in.

Fancy like.

Well from my experience it's the local small places that are the best, not the big banks and shit. Especially cos you can like just talk a deal

As much as people want to live to they're 140 it really just doesn't appeal to me. I think 60 will do, I'm not bothered either way. I mean what can you do after 60 if you're not fantastically rich? Get an erection? No. Get a hot GF? No. Do sports? Not properly. Watch Jeremy Kyle? Yes, with glasses and the sound turned way up. Shit yourself? Yes, a lot. Have some sort of awful disease? Most likely.

I should make a thread on this, what's your fave age to die I'd call it. Alas, my threads always go down hill around post number 5.

Go to 2 or 3 and get quotes (if its a large sum).  Then get them to try to beat each other.  My uncle used his bank before on $40,000 transactions from USD to CAD and changed to a smaller currency trader and saved over $2000 in fees and exchange rates.  Pretty damned significant.

Saga give the best exchange rate.

But you can't use it.

Are you over 50?


It's what my parents always use for transferring money to France. They did lots of research into this.

No fee, no commission, real exchange rate. But you have to be over 50.

Ah, I'd never heard of them before. I'm on their site though and they make no mention of an age limit.

What?

Just Google Saga and look at all the results.

Maybe their site is more discrete about it.

Yeah Google mentions it, but their site says nothing about it. Oh well. They suggest that the Post Office does decent rates, so I will have a look there too.

Also, if I were to exchange my money online, what would happen to the money? They'd mail me $1000? I'm not sure I like the sound of that.

Credit card. Use to pay for stuff and in cashpoints. Then just pay the bill at the end of the month.

No fee, no commission, all good - except not, because you're not 50.
