I like First Direct (for Maestro card).

I second this, open an account with them just to get your money out of Party, pretty fast transaction times and the conversion rate seems decent.

If I have a Coral account, would I save a lot on the exc rate by withdrawing straight to my Switch card?

What I currently do is w/draw to my Neteller ac (which is in £), then get a cheque.

YES!

Heh, how muc roughly? I bet I've been costing myself loads.

Re: Most efficient way to withdraw from PP to the UK?
 

Whenever I withdraw from Party (or Coral) I usually get a rate equal to slightly greater than the one on www.xrates.com with no fees. I can't rememeber how much it cost me to withdraw from Neteller but it wasn't insignficant, you're paying an exchange fee every time.

On coral the option to withdraw to switch is just 'withdraw to existing credit card' right? I registered my visa card when i put my first deposit in there and last time i withdrawn i got a pretty shitty rate, 0.51 when ex.com had 0.53 up, but i can't imagine there being a visa fee or getting a different exchange rate with a visa?

Anyhow, i'll have to go the coral -> neteller -> empire route, i can see this pissing empire off since i haven't withdrawn in a while.

Well I'm not too happy as I just got a cheque from Neteller but the exchange rate seemed to be real bad. They gave me 1 GBP for ~$1.78, yet the current rates are ~$1.68 I believe.

To make matters worse, I'm off to the US in November and need some dollars for poker playing. But if I have to cash out dollars to GBPs, and then buy dollars I'm going to get hammered.

Anyone got any ideas? Most of my bankroll is on PokerStars at the moment.
