Wise seems to be the go to currency dealer and online bank, I have found them to be very good at the speed they transfer at usually the best rate.

Thank you for your reply. That’s great to know , did you look around for the best rate first before deciding on Wise  ?

You don't have to look around with Wise, they guarantee to give you the interbank rate of the day. Their commission is pretty low too. 

You always see what is being offered before you commit, exchange rate and commission.

We used Magna Financial and saved several thousand pounds by doing so https://www.magnafinancial.co.uk/

Wise are very good accounts, we have them for bills, but their fees and exchange rate could not match Magna.

It’s definitely worth looking around as you can save a substantial amount of cash in doing so. Obviously ensuring that any company used is reputable. 

Good luck.

Hi

I use Revolut as they give a great exchange rate and transfer free within seconds to account in Spain

We used Tor Fx for the purchase of our property they were brilliant too . Their customer service was excellent. We now use Revolut to change smaller amounts of money . They are really good too .
