International Payments Case Studies

Example 1

Mr. and Mrs. Clark needed to transfer $55,000 to the USA in order to fund their daughter's year abroad as part of her University course. They needed the money in the States before the start of the first semester in August. On July 26th 2006 they compared their banks exchange rate with World First.

	Retail Bank	World First
Exchange Rate	1.8270	1.8548
Transfer Fee	£30	£0
Total Cost	£30,134	£29,653

Total Saving: £481
As the rate was significantly better than their bank and we could transfer the dollars 'same day', they proceeded with the transaction through World First.

Example 2

On the 7th December Mr. Webb needed to send €90,000 to Germany to fund the purchase of a car. World First's rate compared favourably to the rate he received from his bank.

	Retail Bank	World First
Exchange Rate	1.4575	1.4812
Transfer Fee	£26	£0
Total Cost	£61,776	£60,762

Total Saving: £1,004
