CHAPS or Swift transfer. The details you need should be on your bank statement.0

However, if the foreign money is in a foreign currency then you might do better using a currency exchange broker.0

As Voyager2002 says, if the transfer involves a conversion of currency; then it may well be worthwhile to look at using a currency broker as the bank rate is more often than not very uncompetitive.Work within the currency industry - all comments are my own opinions.

Quite happy to answer any questions about rates and market movements; if I can help, I will.0

I used Global Webpay and was happy with the service and cost, found them to be 4 times cheaper than my bank.Best wins ever:
