I use Moneycorp and get great exchange rate, all done on line and no fees at any stage in UK or Spain.  

£100 money corp now €111.84 

£100 transfer wise now €116.82 

Definitely worth a look.

As I say look at all exchange companies if you better than transferwise let us know

Can someone tell me the best bank to go with in Spain , at present we are with Caxia .

Apparently they have been taken over, we transfer money every month from our U.K. account to pay bills , but now according to Caxia they are charging €15 due to Brexit due to  us not been in the EU.. Today I received a letter saying the are charging €35 a quarter to operate my account .....

...

So need to change ASAP I was going to go with Santander 

We use Bankinter and providing we both use our debit cards a minimum of three times each month we don’t pay bank charged.

They have  just started to charge and they say it’s down to Brexit ??

€35 a quarter a bit much I think

Hi , if you have a Santander account in england you can send money over at no cost,  just go in to your local branch and as long as you don’t want it to clear in your Spanish bank account the same day it’s doesn’t cost, hope this is help

Good luck

Hi i asked Santander in the U.K. if I could do this over a year ago and they told me although same name they are not connected to Spain .

I don’t get charged for sending € to Spain it’s when it lands in my Caixia account they charge €15 and now they are going to charge a quarterly 

Fee of €35. for managing the account
