i HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS THE BEST COMPANY TO CHANGE OVER US DOLLARS to Sterling. WE HAVE JUST SOLD OUR VILLA IN FLORIDA AND I AM LOOKING FOR THE BEST RATE. I HAVE BEEN ON A FEW WEBSITES and the best one I have seen is for a company called https://www.onlinefx.co.uk If anyone knows of a reputable company that they can recommend then I would be delighted. Thanks in advance

    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Check out xe.com

    Also look for Fidelity Money Funds: the information on their website is useless but if you telephone they will explain that they offer something pretty good.

    Hi onlinefx.co.uk seems to be the best rate. Can anyone tell me how I can find out a bit about their background. I am a bit wary as they are that much better than other websites that i have been looking at.
