Receiving euros into a pound account sounds harmless but behind the scenes, your bank might convert the money twice – once into GBP, then again when you need it in another currency. That’s two conversions, two margins and one unnecessary loss.
At Ampere, we make it quick and easy to avoid that.
Receiving €1,000 into a GBP account can quietly cost you £25–£30 in hidden conversion losses (actual costs vary by provider).
The simple fix?
Open separate GBP, USD, and EUR accounts.
It takes minutes and it keeps your money where it belongs until you actually need it.
Why let your client pick your exchange rate?
A US client sends £500 but they’re the ones converting dollars into pounds at their bank’s rate.
You wait longer, get hit on the rate, and still pay SWIFT fees. They control the when and the how much, you get what’s left.
There’s a better way:
- Send a dollar invoice.
- Hold it in your own USD account.
- Convert it when it suits you - not them.
