Over here in N.Ireland we have a place called CBN.I know it works with a bank in London but not sure if there is places like this in England.It works with having a bank account here and in the Philippines and its the cheapest i have found so far at only £4.00 for up to £1,000.....
New to the forum, was just browsing through this topic and thought everyone seems to be spending money sending money from the UK. I opened a Nationwide Bank account (brand new customers only ads on TV?), sent the atm card to my fiancee, not forgetting to sign it before I sent it, and when she received it I told her the PIN number. I put cash in, she draws it out, no charges, no commission, no 'lost in the post' and she gets it at a straight exchange rate applicable at the time, which varies through the day.
Cheapest, quickest and I've found most reliable way to send it, plus I have total control over the money.
