    Do you have an idea how many zeros there will be on the sum?  For any sizeable sum the bank exchange rates are really poor and getting the money to go through a foreign currency exchange specialist can give you a much better deal.
    See this - but with money going in the opposite direction.

    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.
