GBP to NZD, is it likely the rate will improve over the next 12/24 months? We are moving to NZ in August and are considering our options regarding transfer of all of our savings/ home equity. We can probably live off salaries (just) and leave everything else here for a year or two, but is the rate likely to improve while there is so much instability in the UK/ Europe? Many thanks

Best time to swap GBP for AUD I need to convert a sum of GBP into AUD. There is no great rush and i could probably wait up to 18 months so my question is when do you think i would get the best exchange rate? Should i take advantage of the mini spike of GBP against the AUD that we're seeing now or put it aside and wait for more of a rebound over the next 18 months or so? Cheers, Scott.

Transfer AUD to GBP Hi, I have recently inherited a reasonable sum of AUD. At present it is sitting in a UK based AUD account, linked to my current account. Is it worth the hassle of transferring it out to a currency dealer, compared with using the bank's international rate to transfer directly to my current account. The difference in exchange rate is not to be sneezed at, but nor is it so high to feel worth the hassle.
