Money Transfer to UK Bank/BS

Postby telboy » Wed Nov 19, 2014 2:23 pm

Has anyone transferred money to a UK Bank/Building Society from a Unicaja account?

I was just wondering what the fee is as I can't find this information on their website.

Better to use Currency Fair. They charge €3 no matter how much you send.

Use Currency direct, don't charge anything

I've always found that Currency fair gives a better rate. Well worthwhile if you are moving a few thousand.

I transfer from Unicaja to CurrencyFair in Dublin, then convert online and send to my UK bank.
Unicaja to Dublin - one working day.
Dublin to my UK bank - same day.
Unbeatable rates in my opinion.

The last couple of times I have transferred money UK to Spain I compared CurrencyFair and Transferwise and CurrencyFair came out best. In the past XE was good, and much easier but alas they no longer do transfers to Spain.
I've got an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one!
