Multi-currency is available only in the Invest. As long as youβre using that account, then you can convert, deposit and hold cash in multiple currencies - EUR, USD, HUF, etc.
The applied FX fee will appear when you confirm the conversion. Other than that, there are no extra FX costs.
As a smart investor do you not already know the answers?
Are you seriously planning to convert GBP to HUF to earn 7% daily instead of 5.1%, paying a 0.15% fee each way converting, and being exposed to the currency volatility?
Letβs call it 1.9% difference and for simplicity 0.005% a day so you would earn an extra 0.03% a week, after having paid a 0.15% conversion fee so if the currencies donβt move it would take you 10weeks to break even (conversion in/out fee)
Then in the last week alone itβs gone from roughly 480 to 485 HUF per GBP, so if you did this last week, you could be down 1.03% in the currency movement.
If you have done your research and are happy / understand all the risks, then go for it.
Thank you for your advice. I take note of what youβre saying and it makes sense.
I myself referenced that the HUF currency is on a slide. However, we cannot assume that the HUF will go down relative to GBP over the medium-term in making a determination, unless one is a leading expert on HUF currency fluctuations.
