So had two currency changes to be charged at and the Banco did not give a generous exact exchange rate on the retail exchange at that day think it was nearer to a tourist exchange. So have things on that front improved lately through the Banco?

My three partners are british. They've ONLY sent British pounds here over the last 4 years. Banco do Brasil accepts ALL currencies as far as I'm aware of. I definitely know that they accept GBP's as the vast majority of our investment here has been made in GBP transfers.
