Hi,
I have been doing some work in the uk and hope to head home at xmas. I will have aprox 10,000 sterling. I want to convert it to euros and want to use most of it to pay off my halifax credit card. I have an english bank account and checked online and they will give me 11000 euro. Yet today I walked into a foreign exchange office in Leicester sq and he said he would give me close to 12000. So thats a big difference. I'm obviously too nervous to get 12000 cash in case i lost it or am robbed. So is there any other way around this? I'm basically looking for the cheapest but safest way of transferring money from my english bank account to my irish bank account
