Earning euros, converting them into sterling

hduz5

Hi,

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I am currently working a winter season in the french alps. My employer charges me French tax, and then pays me my net wage of 1000 euros at the end of each month in cash.

I have few expenses here and am keen to save the money. I do not have a euro bank account. What is the best way for me to convert this cash into sterling in my bank account? Is this a service a bank can provide and if so will they just give me rubbish rates?

Cheers

Kit

You are nearly always better off selling the euros to someone who has pounds and want euros. You split the difference between bureau buy and sell rate so you both gain.
