1385549 2014-10-03 06:30:00 Yes, don't often admit to it, but am slightly confused. I am about to receive a sum of money paid into an account in NZ. No, this is not a laundering thing, my late uncle who lived in England left me a small amount..
Question is, how does this work ? Is it better to have it paid into my NZ Acct when our dollar is high against the Pound Stirling, or lower against Pound Stirling?

Cheers LL

1385550 2014-10-03 06:41:00 Pay it in and keep it as sterling the dollar is going to go lower. Sister in law did this a few years ago it made a big difference when the dollar lowered. gary67 (56)

1385553 2014-10-03 21:54:00 If converting to NZ dollars, the lower the rate the better for you. Currently the rate is about NZ$1 to .49p
So if it dropped to say .30p you would get more NZ dollars.

Here is an exchange rate search for you. www.google.co.nz

It may but you will be better off for the kiwi to fall against Sterling (pound)!!!

finance.yahoo.com

Choose British pounds on one side, NZ dollars on the other, enter amount, it converts with current rate.
