What is the difference between a high street bank and a foreign exchange broker?

When sending money to the Canary Islands most people use their high street bank. However, people are increasingly using foreign exchange specialists to make their international money transfers. So, what’s the difference?
Timing and guidance. Never underestimate the value of a good exchange rate.

Currency markets are constantly fluctuating and making your transaction at the right time can make a big difference to the amount of money you end up with.

For example, if you needed €20,000 in your Spanish bank account, transferring your pounds on the dates specified below would have cost you:

- 20 July 2010: £16985
- 20 Aug 2010: £16563

That’s a difference of £423 just one month!

A foreign exchange specialist will offer free information and guidance on the currency markets, helping you decide on the best time to buy. A forward contract is just one of the services a currency broker can provide. You book to buy or sell your currency in the future, at a rate you fix today. Forward contracts can help protect against adverse currency movements and can be used to lock into favourable exchange rates.

Staff at your high street bank have neither the expertise nor the breadth of market knowledge necessary to monitor the currency markets on your behalf. When sending money to Fuerteventura through your bank, you will have to accept the exchange rate on the day of transfer.

Plus, foreign exchange specialists offer more competitive exchange rates, as well as low transfer fees.
