    Good point, I'd ignored the "four weekly" payment option on the grounds that it would eventually not be in synch with the month... but that's daft because it doesn't matter if a month gets two payments (since it goes in and out on the same day anyway so no loss of interest).

    Or it wouldn't kill me to do it manually. I'm still in a sulk with HSBC for rejecting me (how dare they consider me unsuitable!) but it has made my planning 33.3% easier.

    Don't beat your self up about HSBC. I got rejected also.

    No and Yes (well generally), in that order

    The best thing to do is to start your own thread, there's a blue 'new thread' button on each forum contents page.

    Or just read the main MSE article at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/foreign-currency-exchange

    Actually, rather than starting a new thread, better to search the forum where this question has been asked, and answered many many times:cool:
