    For a comparison...

    Before £200 = 234.80 euros
    Sale £200 = 237.90

    I don't know if that puts them at the top of the comparison table as I can't get it to load at the moment.

    Looks like the servers have been overloaded? It's either not loading at all for me now or loading verrrrrry slowly!

    I think its been good in getting other providers to move their rates as well, if nothing else :)

    The tables not picking up all the rates tho? i just saw 1.1905 on FairFX's site, which would put them at the top.

    I only got as far as the homepage and discovered that their sale wasn't as good as three other companies' offerings anyway.

    Wont be wasting time with them again
  • Just bought £600 worth of Euros at 1.1905 from Fairfx. They are great to deal with and their cards are handy too!

    I checked the rate on the MSE comparison page at about 2pm today and TravelEx's rate was a whopping 1.44 for euros, but the link through to their site said the site was unavailable. Waited til 4pm and the rate's now 1.19, as others have found, similar to other sites anyway. Nice idea but shame it didn't work out!
