Hi

I was wondering as I'm struggling to find any clarity on this if it's still fee free at the competitive rates for any foreign currency to be PAID-IN to your account i.e. From PayPal, a cheaque or as a store refund as it is from a withdrawal?

Thanks in advance.

    No, there will be charges and unfavourable exchange rates when receiving foreign currency into the N&P account, just as with any GBP account in the UK.

    If a cheque is made out in US Dollars, it will probably be from a foreign bank - IF N&P accept it, you will get clobbered on bank charges as they will have to send it elsewhere to get the funds cleared.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    It's actually USD that I have in my PayPal account that's the immediate concern.

    I'm just wondering if I should use N&P or PayPal for the conversion rate back to GBP.

    Neither is a specially good option... I had some US dollars in my Paypal account for ages, and eventually used them to buy calling credit on Skype.
