Hello everyone. I'd like to know if there is any bank here in the UK that I can get a good conversion rate similar to what is on oanda.com.

I have a GTBank Dollar card linked to my GTBank USD domiciliary account and I have been using it to withdraw since we got here and it appears no ATM is giving the rate oanda.com has on their website.

For instance, if I withdraw 100 pounds, I get charged about $158 (inclusive of charges), meaning 1 pound is around 1.55 dollars. On oanda.com, 1 pound is around 1.35 dollars. Abi there is now official rate and bank rate in the UK ni? grin

Kindly advice.

Seems you have to deal with it like that. The general advice is to take £ to UK

A good conversion rate in the UK will be the banks offering more value for your Pounds rather than getting it cheaper

Oanda is also aggregating rate supplied by the market not necessarily the official rate. You can try post office or revolut if you have the cash at hand
