keeweegal is on a distinguished road
Default G'day .... from Scotland!
- its definitely a madhouse here!

Just to follow on from what MotherBear has said, I've just used MoneyCorp to transfer a relatively small amount to my NZ account - thought I'd take advantage of the exchange rate, although it would appear that I possibly transferred too soon

So far, so good. I transferred GBP last Wednesday & with the delay from my bank to MoneyCorp, they exchanged today (but on the rate agreed last Wednesday) - should hit my NZ account tomorrow or Thursday - will keep you posted.

I know its not that much help as you're transferring Euros & you don't have an NZ account but so far I will give good feedback for MoneyCorp. I'm also registered with HiFX but MC gave me a slightly better rate on the day.

I will be opening an ASB account before we leave - have a look here, you may be able to apply through their London branch. Other banks such as National Bank and Westpac Bank also allow you to open accounts before arriving in NZ.

HTH
