Forex Price Comparisons
A simple way to check the competitiveness of your usual foreign exchange service is to take their buy and sell prices, and divide the larger figure by the smaller figure, so for example, if your local bureau de change is quoting buy 1.90 sell 1.70, divide 1.90/1.70 = 1.1176; at this they would be making 11.76% "spread", or 5.88% "turn". Typically most exchange bureaux charge about 10% spread or 5% turn. By "turn", we mean half the total spread, roughly equal to their profit on an individual deal, less their costs.
As we wrote this page, we noticed one major dealer proudly claiming "compare our prices", and quoting "High Street Bank 1.7045, Travel Agency 1.700 Our Rates 1.709". At the time mid spot was 1.8040, and our own sell rate would have been about $1.768 to the pound. Their rates worked out at 5.5% turn (profit). Our buy rate would have been about $1.84 = £1.
