So ok in Spain then ! ...

No charges at all in Spain use my Nationwide card debit card for all my cash.
Never bought euro's in the UK for years !!!
Only thing is there is a limit of 300 euro's per day out of the ATM.

Hi. Hoping someone on here can help me. I am wanting to transfer @ 65,000- 70,000 euros from a Santander account in Spain to the U.k. I have a Santander account over here (previously Abbey) or is it better to use one of the exchange speciality companies. I do have a cheque book for the spanish account. Any advice anybody???

One thing to be careful of make sure you put the Nationwide DEBIT card in the ATM & not the Nationwide CREDIT card cos then that will cost you loadsa money !!!!
Like my wife did......gggggrrrrrrrrr !!

Thanks for the tip - yes I can imagine after all the careful planning for the money saving cards of choice to blow it on a simple error !

I would use www.xe.com open a trading account (takes 24 hours) and you can transfer euros into any uk bank account at good rates for free. For example, today 1000 euros would come in at

1000 EUR = 841.04 GBP

1 EUR = 0.8410 GBP


1 GBP = 1.1890 EUR

Rates may vary at time of booking.

I've used crowncurrency for my dollars in the past, but where is best to get my euro's from. I'll be changing £300 for a weekend away 11/6.
