And as said before, for £500 or more, FairFX don’t charge a bean.]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2018 09:06:25 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105964.html#105964 <![CDATA[Money transfer to UK : If you are looking to send money...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105960.html#105960 Author: karldaly

If you are looking to send money as conveniently and cheaply as possible then ExcelCurrencies is a good option. It only charges a small percentage of the overall transfer as its fee.]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2018 06:59:44 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105960.html#105960 <![CDATA[Money transfer to UK : Thanks Cubsur, ]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105299.html#105299 Author: LIBBY

I have to do this from time to time. I just transfer money using my bank's website from my account here to a UK bank account. There is a fee but nothing huge and the normal commercial exchange rate applies.

Look into Transferwise, I found them easy to use, very good exchange rate and good for house purchase.]]> Tue, 15 May 2018 14:37:47 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105244.html#105244 <![CDATA[Money transfer to UK : I was surprised to be told by...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105240.html#105240 Author: LIBBY

I was surprised to be told by Santander that the U.K./Portugal money transfer they offer, does not operate the other way around. I was just wondering what is the least expensive way to do it, eg via bank transfer or fx companies.

Surely if somebody has a Bank Account with any Portuguese Bank then there must be a system in place to transfer money to a UK Bank Account.
I've never had to do it but before I used the Santander transfer method (i.e. for money from the UK to Portugal) I simply went to my NatWest Bank and did it via them.
There has got to be a reverse process because it must happen hundreds of times every day of the week.
No doubt you will get a reduced exchange rate and you'll probably have to pay a fee.

Can anyone advise of the best method of transferring money from Portugal to UK.
Santander transfer facility that we use to transfer money to Portugal does not have a facility to transfer money back to the U.K.
(This is question is to help advise a Portuguese friend to transfer money to the U.K. for a house purchase)]]> Mon, 14 May 2018 13:44:41 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/money-transfer-to-uk_topic10074_post105236.html#105236
