I have read various discussions here on how to transfer over funds into nz. However, we are not from the uk, so would not benefit from using ASB's sterling account. What are the other means we could transfer large amounts of funds (6-digit figures) then? Or rather, what is the best way?
I vaguely know of the following means:
1) banks
2) TT (telegraphic transfer)
3) cheque(??)
4) HIFX/XE
I have briefly spoken to a few bank consultants over the phone, but couldn't glean much from them in terms of ensuring that we have secured the best rates from them if we decide to choose that bank. They always claim it all depends on the going rate on the day of transfer. Where did I go wrong?
