Shifting some money overseas...

[Stevanos]

I have £5K I want to transfer from my UK bank account to my Swedish bank account, what is the best way to do this in terms of getting the best deal on the currency exchange?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, also what do people think, should a wait a while as the £ seems to be getting stronger at the moment. I don't need to move straight away but let's say in the next month or two?

Got a crystal ball? I might be wrong but now steps have been taken concerning the euros slide, how will that affect any other currency.
Cant see the euro slipping much further personally, which is a shame when you still have gbp that gets changed into euros.

I'm transferring to Swedish Krona!

Yes , as I thought, but as most money markets seem to revolve around euro/gbp, you never know the outcome.Have you checked A) gbp/krona exchange
rate.B) What interest you would get on your over seas deposit?

I'm not concerned about interest as I am going to spend the money quite quickly (getting married)

But if this big Euro bond buying thing yesterday and Greece's election Sunday would strengthen the GBP or weaken the SEK it would be nice if to know!
