Sending small amounts of money
I just wondered if anyone knew the best way to transfer some money (not big amounts) from Australia to UK? OH's family need to give us some money as we've booked some trips and accommodation for them for when they come over for our wedding and we're not sure the best way of doing it.... any ideas?
Thanks x

XEtrade.com!! No fees, great exchange rates. Does take a bit of setting up (scanning and emailing ID to them etc) but then it works a treat and only takes 5 mins.

why dont you get your family to pay it in to a bank acct for you in the UK so that you can use it when you go back to the UK that's if you don't need the money right now

And very safe. They are bound by the law and they're very professional.
Banks tend to charge a lot. Tranzfers ... 7 quid.
