I have heard a couple of things about a number a Currency company's but every time I hear something good about them I hear something bad as well.

It’s driving me crazy....

Is there a company that doesn’t take any commission on transfers or can just guarantee the best rate out there?

Please help I have to do my transfer soon.

Thanks all advice is very much appreciated
Hi Rita,

Yes, can be confusing. I have used a company called Currencies Direct too and they have been good. No specific commission if you transfer more than £5,000 and a good rate. They are also easy to deal with.

The foreign exchange markets are moving all the time so no one company can guarantee you the best rate.

Sol Bank is also very good as a Spanish bank. Many Spanish banks are HORRENDOUSLY expensive including Barclays.

What part of Spain are you coming to?

Barry
