Currency conversion information

If you coming to Uk for work or study and need to convert currency I recommend open a Transferwise debit card account. This company offers very good exchange rate and low charges for using debit card worldwide. You can hold multi currencies in one account. I use it for all my travelling.
A very good place to change currency, their exchange rate is the best in London. I recommend you order online and go to shop to change money as you can get a much better exchange rate online.
