Tranfering money to Spanish accounts
I finf it's quite difficult to know the best/cheapest way to send money to my account. I have an account with Sabadell and transfer money in Euros from my Barclays bank. Although Barclays only charge £5 and there is no charge in Mallorca, one suspects that the exchange rate is very low.
Anyone got any tips on getting a better deal? |

I use Smart Currency - no fees and better rates than the banks
|
I transfer money every month from my account with HSBC in the U.K to Sabadell using Transferwise. They use mid market rates and the fees are very reasonable.
|
We use HiFX - far better rate than the banks. We send a regular amount over - for regular amounts, there is no charge and the rate is better than average bank rates. For lump sums, no charge for amounts over £5000 and the rate is better than the regular transfer rate.

Thanks people
|
Hifex too for me. Super reliable.:)
|
Just opened an account with Hifex. I think I'll transfer an amount through them and my bank at the same time and see how they compare. Thanks
|
Just for info, I have just got quotes for a £10,000 transfer this is the exchange rates offered:
Hifex - €1.1606 Money Corp - €1.1305 Virgin - €1.1695 |
Transferwise is excellent - safe, great rates and very quick.
|
You can also use HiFx via John Lewis money

Just a few cents makes a huge difference on those sorts of amounts. You know how they make their money now! |
I use TransferWise, always super fast and efficient, good rates too - 1.18.4 last week

Suggestion - if you need to get money across do it before the end of March - bit of profit taking going on at moment ahead of Clause 50 being enacted. |
