A Cambridge-based rug manufacturer was investing $1,000,000 in a manufacturing plant in China. They needed to make payment on the 18 May 2009. They obtained an exchange rate from World First and then their bank to make a comparison.
| Retail Bank | World First | |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange Rate | 1.4815 | 1.5060 |
| Transfer Fee | £15 | £0 |
| Total Cost | £674,991 | £664,010 |
| Total Saving | £10,981 |
The substantial saving compared with their bank meant they used World First for the transaction.
