Transferring money from.uk

We were recommended currencies.co.uk

They were very good and we have used them since. No fees and decent exchange rates. The chap we dealt with is called Daniel Cartwright if I remember correctly! 

I used to use Moneycorp, but for some time now I've used Transferwise. I did a transfer here a few days ago, and it was in my Spanish bank in four hours.

If you're transferring enough to buy a property, check with your UK and Spanish banks, as there may be a limit to the amount you can transfer without incurring tax or bank charges. 

Moneycorp or transferwise, both good and cheap compared to your bank although if you're with Lloyds the transfer charge is a fixed £9,50 irrespective of the amount but be aware that if you transfer 50,000 euro or more the recieving bank will charge you a fee so if transdering a larger sum better to do a couple of tranfers.

Personally Transferwise  offered the best recently but check with the recieving bank as some banks charge for over 25K euros  Sabadell seem to be ok but check or it could cost you a lot!

Hi there,

We use Moneycorp, which works for us.

Best regards

Hi join currencies direct you have an account with them they do the rest no charges 

Thanks for all the input we have few suggestion to check out cheers 

You should not be charged for transferring the funds to Spain from Uk - there is an EU agreement that as long as the funds are sent in Euro currency charges would not be applied (you need to specifiy that it is sent in Euro before you do the transfer). I know Sabadell charge for receiving in excess of 50,000 but I got round that by sending in a few tranches

Hope this helps!

Ciaxa do charge for anything over 25K in euros but if you have the correct account with Sabadell they do not and the amount is unlimited this is correct as of two weeks ago when we asked both banks.

Hope this helps but best to check personally with the bank then you know for certain and don't get a nasty supprise.
