I take it that you are in Spain and wish to make a deposit in your UK bank. The easiest way is with a transferwise borderless account that you can open online and operate either online or through your smartphone.
You can pay money into your borderless account in several currencies, and then convert some or all of your deposit into other currencies. You can then transfer money into your bank accounts in different countries.
You can see exactly what the exchanged currency will give you and at a very competitive rate. Transferwise will charge you 0.80€ to make a transfer into your bank account.
At its most efficient, I can deposit money in sterling, convert it to euros and have it in my Spanish bank in less than an hour. The best days in Spain are Tuesday to Thursday inclusive. Mondays and Fridays are very busy in Spain and so the transactions are somewhat delayed.
