wire Euros from the US!
We are going to Bogen in two weeks and we were told by Tim and Susan that we could send US dollars to the New Your bank based on Bank of America’s transfer rates which were $.09 Higher than the rate I found most often quoted on the web. I contacted Tim and he told me that I was looking at bank to bank rates on the web and the B of A site quoted retail which I would have to pay. This netted a $3,000+ increase in the cost of the surgery. I told him I would find another option. I went to our US Bank branch in California and wired Euros to Cyprus at a cost of $.0178/per Euro over the web quote. This netted substantial savings! It pays to shop for the best exchange rate and wire Euros from the US! Gary & Linda .
