Our ANZ Bank

We naturally keep a close eye on our investment in New Zealand and recently noticed a change in interest rates.  Despite a much predicted increase in bank rates, the ANZ has in fact dropped its return down to 6.0%.  We seem to have got in at the right time.

However, it's not all good news.  We have to contend with fluctuating exchange rates and sending over a monthly tranche to our Thai bank account is a bit hit and miss.  This month we have missed- compared to our previous transaction, we are going to be down at least NZ$ 100.  If you include handling fees, that's going to be a good fifty quid.

Bummer.  :-(
