The problem
Your bank may not be giving you the best FX deal.
Exchange rates look like small percentages — until you apply them to a life-sized transfer. On bigger amounts, a fraction of a percent quietly becomes thousands.
Investment transfers
Moving capital into funds, accounts or ventures abroad? The spread quietly eats into your principal.
On a £150,000 investment move
a 1% difference is around £1,500
Repatriation of funds
Bringing savings or proceeds back home is often a once-in-a-while transfer — worth getting right.
On a £400,000 repatriation
even 0.75% can be roughly £3,000
Examples are illustrative and rounded for clarity. Actual costs depend on the provider, amount, currency pair and timing.
