Currency Exchange FAQs when transferring currency to Dollar in
St Lucia
Q. Where should I buy currency?
You can obviously walk into any high street bank or bureau de change
and exchange your currency. This may be convenient for your holidays
but for larger amounts of currency it pays to get in touch with
a specialist foreign exchange dealer such as Moneycorp. Specialist
brokers will almost always offer much more competitive rates than
high street banks or tourist outlets, as their overheads are much
lower.
Q. What will it cost me?
In general the more money you wish to convert the better the rate.
Depending on your bank or broker, there will be a cost to transfer
funds of between £15 and £40 per transaction.
It's a good idea to compare the total cost of a currency trade as
some currency dealers do not charge a transfer fee but more than
make up for this difference in the exchange rate that they quote.
Q. How do I purchase currency?
Once you have set up your trading facility with Moneycorp, you
will be able to buy currency over the telephone.
Q. Can I hold out for a particular rate
Yes, you can instruct Moneycorp the moment the rates change to
your desired level. Some brokers, such as Moneycorp, can place an
order to purchase currency outside London trading hours, which will
automatically trigger as soon as your desired rate is achieved.
Just make sure you are being realistic about the rate you are looking
for and be prepared to wait!
Q. What if the rate is good now, but I don't need to or can't
make payment for 3 months?
You can fix an exchange rate for up to two years to make it easier
to plan the cost of your currency payments. This is particularly
useful if you are buying a new property "off plan". With
Moneycorp, forward buying your currency is very straightforward.
Simply book an exchange rate and send your dealer a deposit, usually
10% of the contract value. The 90% balance of your currency contract
is payable when you wish to have funds transferred overseas.
Q. If I take out an Overseas Mortgage and have to make payments
from the UK how can I do this?
Moneycorp provides a Regular Payment Plan to assist those clients
that need to make regular overseas payments. Such payments might
include overseas mortgage payments or transfers of UK pension payments
or any other regular transfers.
The Regular Payment Plan allows you to fix an exchange rate on
regular overseas payments for a period of between 6 and 24 months,
removing the worry caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate over
that period of time. Moneycorp will deduct the payments from your
account by Direct Debit each month and transfer your funds directly
to the destination account of your nomination.
Q. How can I find out current exchange rates?
The Interbank rate can readily be found on the Internet and on
Ceefax. Moneycorp's website has live currency charts and you can
also view historical exchange rates. Although a useful guide to
current market levels, do bear in mind that unless you are trading
millions of pounds on a regular basis, you will not receive the
Interbank rate for your own transaction! For a live quote on the
amount you are looking to exchange, it is best to call Moneycorp.
Q. How long will my funds take to transfer to an overseas bank
account?
Moneycorp use Electronic Funds Transfer and can generally get the
funds into the destination account a good deal quicker than a high
street bank. We have a same-day transfer service to most European
countries and North America, and next day for all other destinations.
Bear in mind that there is sometimes a short delay in the receiving
bank before your account is credited, this can usually be overcome
with a "proof of payment" document that we can provide
on request.
