[Nicko_12345]

Never paid euro's into my uk lloyds account, how doe sit work? do i just pay in the euro's and get that day exchange rate?

You may need to open a Euro account.

Of course you could always ask them - you can't ring the local branch of course, that would be too easy, but doubtless their website will allow you, after many clicks, to raise a support ticket or talk to a machine playing music at premium rate.

Actually I just realise why you posted here first! (the Business forum might be more productive)

If your UK account is a Sterling account they will convert them on receipt using the 'God-awful' rate-of-the-day. If it is a Euro account then it will credit like and normal inward payment.

I can see your a Lloyds customer (or ex customer) as well, i tried calling and after 15min of 0845 numbers i gave up.

Euro account, is that free of charge to set up?

Any idea what 500 euro's will get me?

Instead of paying in at the bank, where else can i change it?

A bit less than £500. Try Thomas Exchange or Travelex. Not sure what they can do without an account and you might find it's not worth the hassle. Lloyds should be able to tell you what st rate you will get in advance of you committing to it.

Post Office® exchange rate
1.2112

You will receive
£412.81

yet the top site on google tell me that 500 euro is £451.95, so i would be charged a tad under £40

1.2112 sounds harsh. Try calling those guys in the morning and see if they can help you out.
