  Michael H. asked:

  Hey Everyone, Looking for a bit of advice on money exchange agencies. An english student rugby league team are coming to Budapest in a couple of weeks and staying for 10 days. They will be 26 players and staff and I want to make everything as easy for them as possible and money exchange will be an important one. Can anybody recommend a good agency and one that could handle reasonably large amount of GBP ?

  

  John G. replied:

  Card fee's can vary a lot from bank to bank and you don't really know how much you've paid until you see the charge on your bill. I'd suggest someone in the UK collecting a kitty and then using a service like transfermate.com or currencyfair.com to transfer it here in one lump sum. The rates will be better than any bank and they can withdraw it here when they arrive.

  Hello all. I have sold my house in London and am now looking to move the money to the U.S. Do any of you recommend banks, FX companies or to make the payment direct from the house sale? Many thanks

  Mått B. asked:

  Can anyone recommend the most cost effective way of transfering money (between £1000-2000) from the UK to Hong Kong? I have an HSBC bank account over here. Any idea if they charge you from receiving a bank transfer from overseas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

  I use Baksy Kantor in Nowowiejska all the time. Way better rates than the bank. For large amounts have you tried www.currencyfair.com ? It's based on matched deals, you can usually get very good rates there too.

  Nir W. asked:

  Hello Australians who live in Israel. I am an Israeli who recently moved to Sydney Australia. I have a question, and maybe an offer to you: My problem is regarding transferring money from Israel account (ILS) to Australian account (AUD). I believe most of you had a similar problem, but in the other direction. Banks charge terrible commissions and outrageous exchange rates. Any ideas/suggestions from your experience? I thought that if someone in Israel wants we can do a social-transfer and save money: I'll transfer ILS from my ILS account to yours, and you'll do the same in AUD from your Aussie account to mine. No commissions. No bad rates. Win-Win.

  Jim P. asked:

  just hit an unexpected problem. My regular currency dealers (World First), who send my pounds from England for me, converting them into zloty on the way, have given up transacting in Poland. Too much regulatory hassle, they say. My British bank, was always expensive. So who do I use now? Any recommendations?

  

  Adam T. replied:

  I use currencyfair.com to transfer money from my UK account to my a polish one. 10PLN fee for all transactions. It's free to set up and takes 3 business working days to transfer :)

  

  Adam W. replied:

  i'll also 2 nd Transferwise. i have used them a few times - really efficient and the fees are capped - although that currencyfair deal sounds impressive if true...
