Best Timing for Euro-GBP Transfer

Peregrina
Posts: 13 Forumite

Hi Folks,
Does anyone have any reliable-as-possible financial advice on whether I'd get a better deal transfering a 6k lump sum in Euros to GBP now or after the Brexit transition period ends? I'm guessing afterwards, but your advice would be helpful.
I plan to use Transferwise, as they provided the best rate in the past, and the transfer worked perfectly. Their website states that the end of the Brexit transition period won't affect their service provision.
Any help or suggestions will be welcome - thanks in advance.

If you think there will be a deal then better to exchange Euros to GBP now .( probably)
If you think there will not be a deal then wait until later ( maybe )

No one knows. You could transfer half now half after?

On £6k not as if it's going to be a huge sum of money which ever way it goes. Not as if this is the end of the road either.0
