Peebo Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I often use UK Forex for going the other way (but have done uk to us). Take a look and if you fancy it, I can refer you and we both get amazon voucher (if that offer still on!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgoJambo Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've been using TransferWise to pay money from Stirling to Euro for a few years (I actually started a thread about them a wee while back as so impressed). It's a peer to peer sort of thing - bypasses the banks so you and recipient get a better exchange rate. The story of its inception is really interesting - two guys, one worked in UK and got paid in Euros, one worked in Europe and got paid in Stirling so they used to get each others wages paid into each others accounts. In five years time I reckon most people will be using them for transferring money. https://transferwise.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Phamism Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I use Moneycorp or XE.com. Good rates and easy to register for an account. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockjambo2 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Have used Transferwise and FairFx both good. FairFx exchange rate mostly better especially for larger payments. Both much cheaper than the regular banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoncrest Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I use US Forex, good rates, quick transfers and if you transfer a decent amount they don't charge a fee, in fact I'm sure for your first transaction there is no fee regardless of amount.
