I am about to sell my Spanish property so will need to repatriate my € back to £ UK. Problem is none of the FCA authorised and regulated currency companies advertise their rates, you have to sign up first!! Any advice on rates and charges would be greatly appreciated. Particularly, but not restricted to, Moneycorp, Currencies Direct, OFX, Key Currency.
Thank you

Super helpful member
I suggest you use Wise. They give the current interbank rate and everything is transparent, including interest rate and commission, before you commit yourself.
I agree with Herefordjack, Wise is the way to go.

Whatever you do, don't channel your funds through any bank here. All us expats use Currency Direct in Moraira. They are brilliant. We know dozens of friends who have used them. Completely 100% safe. Go and see Sherrie she manages the office. She's wonderfully helpful.

Thanks Susan - had no intention of giving Banco Sabadell my dosh! Rather fortuitously I have just been speaking to Currencies Direct in Javea though so will certainly check out the Moraira branch. Thank you so much for your advice

As previously advised to another person asking the exact same question. Only one company to give you the very best rate and service. Currencies Direct in Moraira (see the wonderful and knowledgeable Sherri) and Javea. 100 safe. Dozens of our friends have used them over the years. Nothing but praise.

If I knew your email, i would do a referral and share £50 referral fee with you. You are welcome to use personal messaging as I don't know how to do it, having only used this site to look rather than act.
Contact Rory Halloran at Smart Currencies and mention Peter Bild as referral partner. Good LUCK.
