Hello, my husband is paid by his French company in Euros into his Yorkshire Bank current account. We have realised that against the XE exchange rate, we are down about £170/month due to the poor rate used by Yorkshire Bank.
Can you tell me the best way of being paid in Euros (we do need it transferred to £ rather than paid into a Euro account).
Many thanks

    I don't know if it's "the best way" but I use Revolut for fee free exchanges between euros and pounds.

    Not sure if it is the best but Transferwise or WeSwap might be a solution

    Transferwise is great, I use it for all my international payments now. Paypal fees were so excessive.
