Currency transfer

Hello All,

We have sold a house in the area, and are coming to Spain to sign at the notary office next week. I was just wondering if anyone could give advice as to the best, safest and cost effective way of returning the euro bankers draft to a UK bank account into pounds please?

Can anyone recommend a money transfer company that they have dealt with recently please?

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

Hello Steve
I have always used currenciesdirect.com
You can speak to them over the phone or online, they will explain everything.
I have used them to transfer money since 2005 to Spain, UK and Australia with ease.
You can see their live online rate of exchange too.

Hi Steve we always use Transfer wise cheap charges brilliant exchange rate and it always tells you if you could get a better rate with someone else he Western Union,a lot of members on this forum rate them highly. Good luck

transferwise, you don't need to sign in to see how much it charges you, just go to the home page and enter the currencies, and amounts, and it will show you everything before you even log in, no commitment. if you think its no good, carry on looking. good luck

I’ve just recently used Moneycorp. They have an office In Quesada and surrounding areas. You can the speak to someone face to face. I endorsed the bankers draft and they dealt with it directly without the need to pay into a bank account first. Very straightforward.

Hi All,

many thanks for the replies.

Curious, did you just take your bank draft from the Notary office and hand it in yourself to Moneycorp, and they transferred the amount in pounds back to your UK account?

Transferwise is the safest bet

Transferwise best

Just realised, you says bankers draft, so I’m guessing that means not transferring from a bank account?

If that’s the case and it was me, I would have a difficult time in knowing who to trust with the cheque and knowing that my money isn’t just going to disappear in the hands of crooks. I’m sure I’m just paranoid, there’s no crook about anymore? lol

I would prefer to transfer from a Spanish bank account, to the U.K bank account, via transferwise, but just my choice. Hope you suss it out for the best, let us know what you do and if it went well. The info would help me in the future.

Used most of them Transferwise wins hands down 8 seconds last time and cash was in bank! Just amazing and best rate check them all out and see!

They also have a currency card brilliant check it out!
