Hi Steve, I've never had the need to contact them, I've just checked and found this number, might be of help.

Regards all

John

They also have a very good live chat option, where your untypical in query and they answer and continue until you are happy.

I have heard good reviews for Freemarket FX (https://freemarketfx.com/), they have a fixed commission of 0.2% and having just checked they have the best rate. Has anyone tried them?
That said there has been some articles in the news that the Referendum in Italy this weekend, if it goes against the PM, could impact the banks and therefore the Euro. So might be worth waiting a few days before transferring any money.

Freemarket do indeed show a good rate but have a minimum transaction size of £5,000 ( or currency equivalent) so may not suit everyone. They operate in a similar manner to Transferwise.

As far as the rate stated by llamedos goes have you checked when it was posted?

I had to pay an Ozzie Co for some car hire/hotel bookings etc.  Mushte. They gave me their bank details and I transferred through Transferwise. Took 2 days.
