Transferring money from New Zealand

Options
My sister has been living in New Zealand for the past couple of years but she has to send money back to the UK to keep paying a loan she has. The problem is that the bank fees are extremely steep.

What is the best and cheapest way she can transfer money from her New Zealand Bank to her UK bank?

    I used NZ Forex when I was out in New Zealand and they were very good. Good rates usually better than the banks.

    They are foreign exchange company. Not as straight forward as banks as have to register & prove address details and all their work is online or over the telephone. I was initially apprehensive as no obvious base but once did one deal haven't looked back. have done approx 4 transfers with them with no problems. But check them out for yourself. They also own UK forex & Oz forex you can call their local service in UK if like, check out the local number on site.

    They are best if transferring large amounts of money ie over NZ$3000, its, free if over $10000 & they have a free offer on at the moment at
