Best Place to Buy Euros

Nytehawk

I got referred by a mate to crown currency exchange back in February, I ordered about £552 for collection in June ready for the hols and got Euros 1.4756 per £.

I ordered a further £150 yesterday and got a rate of 1.4306 per £.
No commission so I think it's a good deal and thats what this site is about, getting value for money.
https://www.crowncurrencyexchange.com they are based in Cornwall. Good Luck;)

somebody who is better at maths than me would point out that the rate is only so good because you leave your money on deposit with the company for them to use as they please ....hence the different rates the longer they have your money

If you can get a Nationwide Flex Account then cash withdrawals from Euro ATM's are FREE and you get the interday rate not tourist rates.

Sorry to be a bit thick but is that ATM's in this country or abroad?

[:T Yea your right about having my money for an extended period would allow tham to do with it as they please but the £150 which I mentioned in my second paragraph was only ordered 3 days ago for collection at the end of the month. Having looked at the other options I can only reiterate that my most recent rate of Euros 1.43056 is better than any of the high st rates and thsi site is all about getting the most for your money is it not?? :T

but the whole point is that they aren't matching like for like ...they don't seem to do instant exchanges. your money is used by them on deposit instead of it remaining in your account working for you.

Atms abroad.

When in Amsterdam in February I was getting €1.46-€1.48/£ while tourist rates were €1.39-€1.40 prior to going. Might not sound much of a difference but I spent around €4200 while on holiday so it adds up.

Thanks for that, didn't know! Do you know if that is likely to be the same throughout europe? Am going to Paris shortly and was about to stock up with Euros before I go. Thanks.:j :T
