BEST WAY TO SEND MONEY TO SPAIN FROM THE UK
I have looked in the search engine, but I cannot find anything on what is the best way to send money from the UK to Spain or can they just send it via their bank to mine.
Just to say they do not use the internet so would need to either send it through their bank or contact a company who would send it to me.

If they don't have access to the internet then, probably, the only way is to post you a cheque or do a transfer from their bank to your bank.

Hello Gerry thanks for that. A cheque would expensive I think, they would charge a lot to cash a cheque in pounds to sterling!gerryh wrote:If they don't have access to the internet then, probably, the only way is to post you a cheque or do a transfer from their bank to your bank.

Look at agents like currencies direct etc and whether they have branches near the sender or open an account and do the transfer over the phone? Spend you gift money quickly as the tax man might come sniffing if they see it in your bank account!
My uk bank used to charge about 20 quid for an overseas transfer.thats prob your safest bet

Currencies direct. that is interesting. The best bet though I think is transfer from their bank to mine.
Thanks for all you help.

I've never tried it but I believe the sender can go into a Western Union agent in the UK, and set up a transfer either in cash or from their bank account and send it to your bank account or to Western Union where you can go to a local Western Union agent and collect the transfer in cash.
I believe the transfer fee is only a few pounds.

You will need internet or phone app, easy to use you can even get a debit card account for multiple currencies, usually the best or top 3 exchange rates and easily better than banks
Re: BEST WAY TO SEND MONEY TO SPAIN FROM THE UK
It's a question of trust, but an easy way (and I've done it for a friend) is to find someone you trust, who uses Transferwise, and get them to transfer (by going into a bank branch) £1,000 into the friend's account. Then if the friend has your iban number for the Spanish bank, they can use Transferwise to send euros to your Spanish bank. I did this yesterday, strangely enough for exactly £1,000. The people with the Spanish bank got €1,193 and it took 9 seconds to get from my UK account to Transferwise and 11 secs to get into the Spanish account and that was on a Saturday.

They must know someone, a child, grandchild, neighbour.
The easy and cheap ways are all internet based.
