Really not sure how this works

Offered some money today for €1.15 and got a full match but at no time today have I seen €1.15 available.

Not complaining though, really happy with their service.

Hi Lion,
I have been looking on this site today for 1.15 but it never got there. Guess you put your Sterling in at 1.15 & someone decided to have it at your rate.
Wish I had done the same.
I have not used them yet, but have emailed & spoken to them, & am about to start any time now. Seems a good solid company & what a cracking idea in the first place. Very impressed so far, just hope I haven't missed the boat.
Bo.

But what I'd really love to know from the numerous financial experts here on CL is this...

In the coming months, once I'm granted Probate / Letters of Administration for an old friend who died back in January (Intestate), I will have his life savings of over £150,000 to send to his next of kin in Hungary.

These are First Cousins, eleven of them (or their children), only ONE rung above the level where HM Treasury nicks the lot!!! Yes, unbelievable that someone who had accumulated that amount of savings, and who lived in a high-rise Council flat, with both parents dead, never married, no kids or brothers / sisters, never thought to spend £60 on making a Will...

So, do you think Currency Fair would make the ideal vehicle with which to transfer funds of this magnitude over to Hungary when the time comes, please? Any advice, tips, or hints will be very much appreciated, thanks!

Cheers- AL :wink:
