Chris Perkins Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 You won't find better than the exchange rate offered here for sending money abroad:https://transferwise.com/u/e32272I've just used it to send my printer money from GBP to EUR and saved over £50.When I refer people the referee gets a free transfer and I also get a bonus.Please look into it if you ever need to send money to another currency.

sound Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Chris saw this in the telegraph the other day.This is really good. Regulated by the FCA so it's Kosher. Anything to crack the back of the ridiculous foreign exchange merchants.Now can they do something with my holiday money.Mark Quote
Chris Perkins Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 What lands at the other end really is 0.5% less than the actual exchange rate. Takes a few days to arrive, but then so do bank transfers to abroad.They don't deal with notes/coins, but I know a man who does if you have a decent quantity. Quote
sound Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Chris,Does it work both ways? If a customer wanted a coin on your site and were buying from the US how would it work?Mark Quote
