What's the best way to transfer a largish sum of money to Canada ? I use an app that gives a not bad rate of exchange but when I go online the rate is rubbish. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

I have used TransferWise for quite a few Sterling to Euro transfers to Eire.

Way cheaper than the Banks and reasonable exchange rate.

Never had a problem and quite simple to set up.

Hope that helps



Cheers

Tom

Thanks tom Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Try Ukforex I've used them to move money between here and Aus. And Aus and NZ.

Transferwise is by far the cheapest and quickest way to transfer money abroad. I have used Moneycorp, HiFx and a few others including my own bank to transfer money to USA but since I found Transferwise, I haven't used anything else.

Colinrr transferwise is giving the best result by far , but how much does it cost ? How do they mak money ? Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Does paypal not do it? or do they charge ridiculous fees?

fetch it to me in cash or bullion,I will personally take it over in my hand luggage... no insurance offered

the value of the money delivered may be significantly smaller than you expect At work

Yes, it will. You obtain the best bank rate instead of 3 or 4 percent below. They obviously do make money out of the small charge which is only about half a percent and you only pay that on your second or subsequent transactions as the first is free. On £1000 last week it cost me less than £5 and I received top exchange rate. It is peer to peer currency exchange.

I have no connection with them but I am just happy to save a lot of money when transferring currency .
