Im looking to transfer some money from my account here (HKD HSBC account) to my UK Bank account (not HSBC). Im looking to transfer around 10K GBP so just want to check what would be the cheapest way to do this. I realise I can just exchange 10K GBP in my HSBC account here through HSBC then go through with the transfer but I was perhaps thinking I could get a better exchange rate if I went to say a money exchange counter/shop and took out the 10K GBP in cash. What would you guys think? I realise I have to pay around a 115HKD fee for an overseas transer from my HSBC bank here but Im really looking to see where to get the best exchange rate.
Thanks!
