Excuse me, I'm wondering if you could help me with a question regarding exchange rates. I'm in the
market for converting some of my assets into a different currency and I'm curious, what banks or financial institutions tend to offer the most competitive exchange rates? Are there any particular factors I should be considering when choosing a bank for this purpose, or is it mainly a matter of shopping around and comparing rates? I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide on this matter.
