Hi eDicky

You are exactly right they receive all payments from our patient in Euros account in St Petersburg so then use this account to pay back to me they do not convert Rubels to Euros then to GBP.

I will look into an XE account now and let you know how I get on - much appreciated advice thanks so much!

..., perhaps you could sign up with XE yourself and register your UK account and your employers' account as a source. Then have them pay the agreed amount of euros to XE's account (in the same country as the source account so usually free of charge), who then convert it to GBP and deposit it in your account (from their London account so free of charge).

Maybe a British agent such as Transferwise or FairFX could do the same thing slightly cheaper, but they may not have an account to receive the funds in the country where your employer banks. XE are everywhere....

HI Grumbler

Thanks for checking XE

I have also checked Transferwise and they can do it as long as the company registers so will speak to my employers.

Thanks again to everyone for all their help!
