Hi,

Just another step towards completing a move and the rest that comes after!

I have heard that the best company to use is SGM-fx. They are really helpful and I have compared their rates against other people and they seem to come out top especially against the bank who take a massive chunk out of my well earned cash!!
Their website is w ww. sgm-fx. com and contact telephone + 44(0) 207 220 1740. I hope they will do the same for you they did me.

Never heard of them, I personallly would not want to send my money to someone who is not recognised.

Ps. If you want to advertise a company, simply ask the owner, he can provide ad space.

I have just noticed this and firstly , its a Company i hadnt heard of but assume they give good exchange rates ..

Now after having some dealings on Money Transferring having just paid for my Villa in September ..

I went through the online route and got exchange rates etc, and was tempted to go that route . However time was pushing so speed was of the essence and as the Money was in my own Bank anyways i went and spoke to them first .

They matched the best exchange rate i had seen although initially was way below !!

All i did was get the young lady to ring Head Office and tell them its a large ammount so want a deal , they asked me what i had been quoted and they matched it there and then !!

All it cost me was £ 10 to send and it was done and dusted in 10 minutes and Safety assured ..

So try your own bank first dont just go by what there Holiday Makers exch rates show , trust me they will match the best if its a large ammount ..

You can always buy exchange traded currencies through your brokerage account with little difference from the wholesale rate. The currencies can be domiciled there until you wire it to the foreign institution.
