Cheapest way to give someone £1100 living in Switzerland ?

Inigo_Montoya

Any ideas how I can give someone living in Switzerland access to £1100 as cheaply as possible ?

I spoke to my bank Nationwide & they will charge £25 for an IBAN transfer

Any cheaper methods around maybe using something like paypal or its competitors ? - for example I seem to recall you can send personal payments to people via paypal without incurring fees ? - but is their a limit to the amount

Also I guess there are currency conversion charges to consider

If anybody has used these services then LMK - looking like either post office or transferwise at the moment

I've used http://www.currencyfair.com/
for payments to Australia and The Netherlands, into other people's bank accounts. Simple, v cheap, 'does what it says on the tin'.
