Exchange Rate

[Eljohno]

When i was over in the Philippines last April the exchange rate i got quoted was anything from £1 = 75pesos - £1 = 89pesos but when we sent money to the Philippines yesterday the rate was £1= 97pesos was a great rate for anyone sending money now or heading over soon...:cwm12:

Yes it got 95.44 from Western Union yesterday,and the way the economy is going it will be 100+ peso to the quid soon, so no need to panic.

Thats a good rate from Western Union as they are usually one of the worst. I only use them as a last resort as they cost too much...

[ervenescence]

Western Union is a rip off! they charged too much.

So I used the best way money transfer now, and it cost me nothing.

I use a place called CBN which i think is connected to a bank in London and can send up to £1000 for only a charge of £5 and always a great rate!!

It was 110 at the beginning of the year, dropped to 88 last month, and around 100 now

blimey more spamadelic nonsense. 95.44 is like saying your council tax was just 1500quid, or that your mobile phone operator charges just one pound a minute for calls to the fil.

110 is ok. when uk interest rates rise again we'll see it again.

Hmmmmm ya'll say what good rates you get and cheap it all is but nobody got the subtle hint. WHO IS BEST TO USE ?????

I send abt 150-200 per month so who do i contact and how ?
