Hope you guys can help me out â¦and apologies if ive posted in wrong section. Thanks in advance for your help. I live in the UK and only have UK bank accounts. I need to make large transaction in USD and after 6 months the funds will then be available for me to bring back into the UK. My concerns are : I buy USD now ( from sterling ) and I get a fixed rate â how do I get the best rate ?? If after 6 months the gbp/usd has gone up I may be at a major loss to convert back into GBP. I have heard I can fix the currency rate for 6 months but not sure how I can do it and whether its feasible. Would appreciate your help as I need to do this transaction ASAP and because of the recent market volatility im not sure which way to go about it⦠Thanks
