Transfer money to UK

Hi guys,

Does anyone know the most cost effective way to transfer foreign income in to the UK? I'm not looking for tax advice but more along the lines of minimising bank charges and obtaining the best exchange rate etc.

Thanks!

    I have moved this to a banking thread as you will probably get better responses.

    You need to answer a few questions before any tailored suggestions can be given.

    What country is the money coming from?
    How much will each transfer be?
    How often will the transfers be made?

    Yet another question is who will make the transfers.

    Most companies will refuse to use the most efficient ways that wouldn't be a problem for an individual.
