transferring HKD dollars to UK

yeah its getting a bit stupid really ...

i'll be wanting to transfer my HKD savings at the end of the year to UK but not at these rates ...

can anyone suggest a good company to transfer money , i.e good exchange rate with low fees ...

in case the rate is not favourable i'll leave my money in HK until the rate improves. can anyone recommmend a safe investment paying out 5% interest? (3% deposit to me seems a little low) . Or Perhaps I'll just play the gold market

Try OzForex .. they claim they can manage to get some pretty decent rates (not tested them.. as I really don't have any place to transfer my money too..)

they're an advertiser here ....
