We had 1.202 last week at one one the local Money shops ( Tilleys) they always beat any rates advertised..bet its more this week

Was out week comm 24th April - seems such a long time ago - used Nationwide Flex Plus debit card to get cash from atm and credit card to pay for meals and hotel.
I've checked the statements and we never got less than 1.21 to the Pound, with no extra fees or commission. You must pay in Euros at the point of sale.
With the other perks on the Flex Plus account like interest on balances, cash back on the credit card, Britannia Rescue and travel insurance etc I'm happy to pay the £10 per month to run the account.:)

we always take a small amount of cash usually changed at a money shop type place rather than a uk bank

always use our Clydesdale bank debit card for meals and atm withdrawals never had less than 1.15 average over the piece and very happy with that

only problem was one year local atms would not take our card for withdrawals for 2 days, was fine eating out using card but was strange having no cash on hip so to say

Just checked the Interbank rate.......... 124.12 :);) highest it's been for ages!

2007 at a guess?

It's still going up, it's been as high as 125.13 this morning!:)

Yes - the intimation from the Bank of England that interest rates may rise soon than thought is having a positive effect on the rate

Still going in the right direction, 126.23 this morning, great for all of you coming out in the next few weeks.:)

Good for the pensions too!!!

looks like things are up for us in the uk official figures this week show our economy is growing faster than any other eu country

just changed some pounds to us dollars for a short business trip next week and got over 1.75 to the pound, not been know for years either!

Not bad in some exchange places either...rate was 1.243€ at Ramsdens yesterday :)

Well we've been riding high for the last month which has been good news for everyone. The interbank rate monthly high reached 1.2689 but unfortunately it has taken a nose dive this week and is now back down to 1.2468 let's hope it doesn't go much lower. It has been refreshing to see it gradually climbing.

Yep - the Governor of the Bank of England opened his mouth yesterday and sterling took a dive!

Good day to buy Euros.Travel fx giving 1.2542 that's almost 10 per cent higher than my previous post.Thankyou Scotland.

Why? Are you aware of something that's going to change the worlds economies?

Interbank rate currently heading for Euro 1.32 / £ on the back of the ECB QE announcement.

Yep, and it's going to get even better now they are going to stick 60 billion a month into what has proved to be the largest failed financial experiment in history. Common market RIP. :)

1.30 today in the UK! A 7 year high. Me thinks some spending money is needed to be exchanged at that rate:-)

Do it before the Greek elections tomorrow just in case.............

Hi all
I exchanged on Friday and got £1.33 after costs that will help with the maintenance bills.

Exchange rates always drop as a general election approaches due to uncertainty in the market so might be an idea to buy currency now if you can afford to if travelling in March, April or May.

There must have been some good financial news, just checked and the interbank rate is 136.63 euros to the pound. A good time to get your holiday spends, shop around though for the best tourist rates.

Glad I'm not with the "Bank of Cumberland"!!!

Talking to a German economist recently and he believes the euro will lose 3 cents a month to Sterling during the monthly quantitive easing. As this continues till September 2015 you can see why many are predicting rates of 1.5 to 1.55 by the end of the summer.

The £ to € exchange rate reached 140.00 this morning, first time since 2008.:)
