We always use Western Union to be honest - it only charges £4.90 for ( i think ) up to £200 and gives an exchange rate only 1% below the bank rate - not bad really when you consider the rip off rates in airports and some travel agents.

That does not seem that good.

It's 2.45% plus 1% ( and that also relies on the exchange rate being the inter bank rate, something which is not always so with transfers).

I am still using the FREE Nationwide CASH CARD, although that is just about to be withdrawn.

I am fairly sure when it is, we will use a Nationwide DEBIT CARD. That will I believe cost 1% fee and, if the exchange rate is as good as it always has been, it will be just a small fraction of 1% different from inter bank rate.

An advantage using 'our system' is that I can transfer the sum I want to send, on line, to the account that we use for Phil, and my wife's cousin can immediately draw that amount from a 'VISA' ATM.

I agree and we don't stop suggesting PNB europe, give you a very good rate and quick transfer
