Howdi - anyone know where to get the best rate for Swiss Francs in uber short timescale (ie. this afternoon)?

I would say post office if they stock them..... Or Buy them online and collect at the airport, you get a better rate.... ( i saw this on "This Morning")

Hope it helps

Unless I am spending >£1,000 I get non $ or Euro currencies from the hole in the wall at the destination airport. Might cost £5 or so more but worth it for the buggeration saved.

Get an account with nationwide and there are no charges for withdrawls or stuff bought on your debit card, much better conversion rate than you would get through the Post Office etc as well

Its kinda late I know, but you will not get a better rate than taking the money out of a cash machine at your destination.
