Hi. Need some advice. I need to transfer £900 to a Greek bank account for a holiday villa. My bank, Santander, want to charge me £25 to do this. Is there a cheaper way?.

    Have a look at CurrencyFair. You send pounds, the villa owner receives Euro. Which is probably what they're expecting, unless they have a GBP account in Greece. Fee is EUR3, and the exchange rate is the best you'll find.
