Moving Money Abroad
If you are looking to move to Lanzarote the chances are that are some point you will need to transfer some money from the UK. As the UK has avoided the Euro (at the moment) that means that the amount of Euros you will receive for your Pounds varies by the exchange rate at the time. Most commonly people use their bank to make the transfer and accept the rate that they are given, the time it may take and also the charges they are asked to pay.
Actually when transferring money to Lanzarote from the UK, the simplest and most cost effective way is to use an International Foreign Exchange Company. Whether you are moving money to help fund a business or property purchase, or simply transferring money to live or work here, these foreign exchange companies can help you to get the best possible exchange rate.
WHY USE A FOREIGN EXCHANGE COMPANY?
The rates that are available from your local bank are the 'tourist rates', which are very different from the interbank rates. A good foreign exchange company will be able to secure an exchange rate for you that will be only slightly less than the interbank rate
Most foreign exchange companies will charge low or zero commission charges
Whether you are making a one-off transfer (now or a few months in the future) or making regular money transfers overseas you can fix your exchange rate now. This removes any concerns you may have over currency fluctuations and allows you to budget your finances
Funds are delivered quicker through SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications). This process increases speed and efficiency as well as giving you more control over your transfers
Should you want to buy a currency but want to wait for a specific rate then most foreign exchange companies can monitor the market for you 24 hours a day even outside of London trading time
Once the funds have been deposited into your destination account a good foreign exchange company will confirm this to you. This helps provide peace of mind and also assists with any ongoing transactions you may need to make
