SWMBO and I plan to spend 120 days a year, 60 at a time, in the US for the next 2/3 years, we have bought a motorhome. Cards like FairFX are useful but I'd like to stick £1000 on Currency Fair marked up for a good bounce, that way I get a better deal but perhaps more importantly I don't have to watch it. The thing is I have nowhere to put the $$ if I do. Any really good USD accounts for UK residents?0

Hi, Neil!
How are you and the girls doing? It would be a great time to come over. DS was just here, with the job, so only catching up with friends for a weekend and us, mum & dad, in between.

apparently QE more probable then rate changes. Im only optimistic for sterling if it crosses 1.34 confidently and then there is a 2yr downtrend with 1.44 as best case for now

What's the consensus on the exchange rate post Brexit? Will rates pick back up to 1.4-1.5 ish or are they expected to keep dropping?
Been working abroad and I've brought a wod of notes back with me...just wondering if it's worth getting them swapped or not?0
