Currency Conversion?

[pipin]

Hello

Do any Brokers allow actual conversion - so Euro to Dollar and back again or similar. I am resident in the UK but spend time in Australia, Europe and the USA. Currently I either just use my bank for quick and simple conversion or sometimes I use HIFX for larger amounts. I have spread betting accounts which dont offer anything like this obviously. I recently opened a sterling account with Alpari. I know they will let me have Dollar, Sterling and Euro accounts if I choose. Will Alpari allow conversion / transfer between accounts? Or can anyone suggest anyone else.

Thanks

Interactive brokers - provide you have bank account(s) in your own name in those other currencies to withdraw to.

There is, of course, a $10 a month minimum commission so probably not worth doing just to enable currency conversions, only if you can actually use them for (some) trading.

OK thanks I will look into them.
