Converting pounds to dollars

Are you converting pounds to dollars? For example, if you're buying or maintaining property in America, or living in America and need to transfer your salary, pension or money for living expenses, you will have to convert sterling into dollars. World First will convert your pounds at the best available exchange rate and make a same-day payment to your dollar bank account.

On Thursday 11 March, we were offering rates between 1.4830 and 1.4905 (depending on the transaction amount) for transfers into dollars.
