I thought that if they told the bank what amount they wanted in GBP then the bank would make sure that was the amount that was sent, regardless of the local currency. We've had a few overseas payments from Australia, the US and Canada and as far as I can remember they've all arrived as the right amount (before our bank deducted it's fees)."will attempt to net fees to arrive at a correct amount due. Hopefully with the exchange rates that are given this will be close. If not, I can mail any difference to you once in the U.K. if there is a shortage. "
Does anyone have experience of foreign currency transfers and can fluctuating exchange rates make that much difference?
