It is worth comparing more than one bank before any large transfer, and checking again on the day, since rates can change during working hours. Transferring through a bank is safer and better documented than informal alternatives, leaving a record you can return to — which matters in commercial dealings and imports. Some banks offer preferential rates to larger account holders and corporate clients, so negotiating can be worthwhile when the transfer size justifies it.
