We have used currency fair for a number of years now to move money to our account in Spain, exchange rates are always very good and transfer fee is fixed at 3 euro.

Hope this helps

Caxtonfx is efficient, and I have found their exchange rates better than the bank's.

I use Transferwise ? Uses bank rate not tourist rate and very easy and quick to use

The Pingit app currently offers free transfers to Europe. It's by Barclays but you don't have to be a Barclays customer to use it.

Pay another person, company or account held overseas


- Send money for just £4, and there's no payment fee at all if you transfer to another HSBC account abroad.
- Send up to £50,000 (or currency equivalent) each day.
