Cheapest way to pay Invoice in Euros?

I need to make payments from my business HSBC UK bank account to a European suppliers bank account in Estonia.

I recently requested my bank to transfer the sum of 150 Euros (£102) and have noticed I have also been charged £21 for this service.

What would be the cheapest way of me making these transfers in the future?

    Does your supplier take credit cards ????
    I would have thought that on small amounts such as this it's not worth the
    hassle of using a FX company.

    Hopefully the OP has this problem sorted by now as this question was posed almost 6 years ago!

    Somebody bumped it with some spam which the abuse team have zapped. However, before that zap a reply bumped it up ...

    but yes, the way some banks process things ...
