Guest crystalrose Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 We are flying over to Perth new years eve:yes: just a couple of days to go and we have not exchanged our money as yet, hubby has been working over in OZ for a few months so he has an australian account with his salary already in but we have around 4kish to exchange, we have a nationwide account in the UK with the money in and as far as we know they are one of the very few who do not charge for you to withdraw abroad would it be a good idea to just withdraw in Perth as and when OR should we exchange with a company before we go?? HELP ANY ADVICE WELCOME AS WE HAVE A SHORT TIME LIMIT TO DECIDE AND ARRANGE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongrel Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 We left some money in a nationwide account and transferred a bit over and used it to make purchases when we did not have a =n aussie credit card. Its useful if you want to buy anything over the net as oz card interest is a tad high (dont forget to bring your card reader) Mally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PommyPaul Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 you could just leave the money in the account when you come out here and then whenever the exchange rate looks good or you need the cash send it over then. I use www.tranzfers.com and the money has always been in my australian account within 3-4 days of starting the transaction. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELP ANY ADVICE WELCOME AS WE HAVE A SHORT TIME LIMIT TO DECIDE AND ARRANGE!! We took our Nationwide card to Perth in June and couldn`t use it in any shops, it was useless. There may be a bank you can withdraw money from with it but we didn`t spend any time looking for one. Hope that helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEEKY bugger no used it allover but it is esp good if you want to pay for owt over net or phone cos you neeed a credit card as the eftpos cards dont work in that way. You have to use it as a credit account on their machines Mally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
