We have been sending canadian cheques back to the UK for my brother in law to put into our english Nat West bank account as we have our life insurance and a couple of things still being paid through that account.
Last week though the Nat West said that they would not take foreign cheques and so we now cannot use that method any more.

Which is the cheapest way to send money back to a UK bank?
We want to send around $400 every couple of months.

Any ideas???

I am not sure with Nat West, but in the past couple of weeks, both our HSBC and Halifax accounts have set up International transfer from online banking. I am not sure of the cost - or even if there is one though.

Could you do a money transfer with such a place as www.xoom.com

I see them advertised all the time ... you're charged $5

just a suggestion ... good luck

Hi,
We send money back to the UK and we use Paypal.
There is a charge not sure exacatly how much, hubby deals with it but money is cleared almost straight away in to the UK bank.
Hope this helps

If you have a debit then just ring your bank and tell you want to put some money in your account. Its just like spending money. No charge. I did it from the UK.

Double check the small print of your life insurance too - some become invalid if you're no longer a UK resident.
