OFX

Have used them for years. No fees and the exchange rate is normally OK.

Whats the problem used them yesterday, money was in in seconds.

Always very reliable and best value for me.

Tried yesterday and today,message cam up to say that they couldnt calculate the exchange so taking on board what you said it could just be the BH.
I will try again on Monday.
Thanks everyone for your input.

I’ve looked at most of these money movers over the years and whilst I’m a fan of TransferWise the others all seem to be as good in many ways. It’s reassuring that there is lots of competition outside of the big banks who monopolised and basically ripped us off for years.
