Foreign Exchange rates post 29/3

We have a holiday in Australia, for most of April.

Given Brexit (assuming it happens), can anyone advise whether it's better for me to get some cash out now, or wait until early April?

We have Halifax Clarity credit cards that we can use, which are good for keeping charges down/low, but will also need to take some cash. I also always like to have a decent cash float when we're away as well, so was thinking of around £500 at least.

Any advice from those 'in the know'?!

TIA

Anyone who says they “know” is lying
It’s a gamble either way

Absolutely no idea !!!!

I’d be tempted to do it now. I doubt the pound will be stronger immediately after Brexit given the way things are going now.

@Hoppinggreen - I know! Grin

I just thought there might be people here more expert than me in matters financial!

No fecking clue. I would get the money now.

Or get half now and keep an eye on the rates to get the rest when it seems wise to do so.

BIWI · 08/02/2019 08:38

That was kind of my strategy, @Mosaic123!

We’re off to Disney Florida in May so I got a Revolut Card. Have exchanged already half our £ into $ just incase there’s a big drop in the £. Look up Revolut. Has been highly recommended. Good rates of exchange.
