This might / might not come to much but if your currently in the UK then you might want to check over the next week or coming weeks the better days for making deposits. It looks as though the Scottish independence campaign might effect the £ / $ rates that we are currently getting. Whilst this might be negligible for smaller deposits if you are doing a larger one then you might want to wait for a more favorable exchange rate day. The pound slumped to a 10-month low on Monday as the Yes campaign took a surprise lead for the first time – just 10 days ahead of the Scottish referendum. The one per cent decline to just 1.62 versus the US dollar adds to sharp losses seen last week after an earlier poll revealed gathering momentum for the independence campaign. Sterling had been at a six-year high above the 1.70 barrier as recently as the end of June.
