Money Transfer from abroad

StinkyMonkey

Hello,

I have been asked by somebody in Greece what would be the cheapest (yest safe) method for transferring a certain amount of Euros (between 5K and 10K) to a UK bank account. I assume that the charges for doing this through a Greek bank would be substantial.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Out of those I've used The FX Firm, and I've got an account with Moneybookers, although I haven't done any substantial transfers with them yet.

The charge of at least two banks I used in Greece (Piraeus and Alpha bank) is tam tam tam ..... 0.30 EUR cents.

For a similar transferred amount? Sounds too good to be true.

And what about the exchange rate they used? Was it any good?

Thanks for this! Though, I am bit thick. How do these work?
