thistles and gum trees is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi, We moved down here 7 months ago and got 2.465. We used Hifx who were very good at the UK end however the money ended up going into a ANZ bank account - and it wasnt ours!!! It took a long time to come down here and for a while we were really worried! We found it eventually and had it transferred (only just at no cost to ourselves....) to our own bank account!! (Westpac). Overall in the UK they were fine, just be careful. We changed a lot of money and were really lucky with our rate. If I did it again I have to confess I dont think I would use Westpac - they charge for EVERYTHING!!! We have since opened a decent rate account with Bendigo Bank and our son has opened one with Commonwealth. Hope it helps....
