Transferring money from Europe to the UK

Hi,

I am looking to transfer a fairly large amount of money (Around £1000 in Polish Zloty) from a Polish bank account to a Halifax Current Account.

What is the best way to do this? What exchange rate does Halifax use? How long will it take?

Thanks :)

    Have a root round the forum, this sort of Q has been asked a lot. Using a specialist currency transfer outfit seems to be the way to go.

    Use an international money transfer specialist to get the best rate, you can transfer Polish Zloty directly to their Client Polish Zloty account. They will then convert the Zloty to Sterling at much better rates than the banks.

    Heya, I always use clearfx.com, never had any trouble and at the time when I sorted them out they seemed to give the best deal. Cheers
