Transferwise have just set a new record in terms of speed for me.
I did a transfer from my phone, jumped in the car to go to Mercadona, half way round Mercadona my phone gave the message received noise, it was a message from our Spanish bank, the money was in our account.......from sending to receiving less than 12 minutes!!
Brilliant service

Regards all

John

John i wouldn't wait that long, i also did a transfer last week i reckon about 90 seconds before phones were pinging to show money had landed. How did the banks get away with taking days to move money only a couple of years ago and charging up to £20 for the pleasure and a poor exchange rate to boot, absolutely criminal but nothing we dont already know about the banking sector.

90 seconds, that's amazing
It was a great recommendation you made Victor
If our place ever sells I'll use them to repatriate the proceeds

Not if you are selling, you don't. I've lost three grand this week. :(

It's only money Tony
 Come completion it'll probably be back down to €1.16 to the £1
Always look on the bright side of life

Tony your theoretical loss is someone else's gain, in an ideal world when i bought years ago the rate was nearly 1.50 if i sell i hope the rate to be 1 for 1, but in all fairness a constant rate of 1.25 would suit most people i think.

Spot on Victor - a good middle ground number that most would settle on
