international money transfer, FX companies anyone?
 

Hi Folks,

Anybody using those FX companies to transfer money in a country where the currency is not pegged to the US dollar? Since the exchange rate sucks right now for the Euro/Brit pound, I read that those people can give you a much better rate of exchange than your typical bank. Anybody willing to share the experience? Is it worthy? Any recommandation?

Thanks

I use UAE Xchange, give good service and always a better rate than the banks. Quicker too.

You get a card and all details are on it so faster in the branch...

Good Luck.

Hello CT7...do you know the closest UAE exchange to Silicon Oasis.

Al Rostamani has better rates as banks too and Emirates discount... 45 dhs flat rate for any amount...

chk them out and compare... UAxchange ws charging 100 dhs transfer when i asked...

Good luck
:ok:

OK

Wall St exchange does it good

you get a card keeps record of all transactions

its 45 dhs for a telex transfer 2 days max

10dhs for a bank draught which you then have to post yourself

best exchange rate found i've seen in last 7 years

Dadster,
I used UAE xchange at the outlet mall on Al Ain rd, nice and close to DSO.
TT charge was aed 45 to a UK bank. The fx rate was better than banks by a bit.
There was a intermediate bank deduction of about $26 USD which I wasn't expecting though.

Thanx fellow aviators...Dadster.:}
