Buying Swiss Francs

I want to buy £600 worth of Swiss Franks for cash. Where will I get the best deal? The best deals seem to be all for card payment and then you get clobbered with card charges.

    That place near the cathedral is good and i don't need to spend anything to get there.

    Are you paying for delivery? Can you Collect? Is this from the Travel Money Maximiser?

    Best way to avoid fees is to do a bank transfer or to take the cash from and ATM and walk it round to the exchange place if collecting. ATM limit too low - cash a cheque.

    I think International Currency Exchange online are pretty good -- not sure what their rules on cash are, I think they let you pay by bank transfer though, so you could put the cash in your bank account and then BACS it to avoid any card fees.
