Transferring money between UK and Canada
i'd appreciate some guidance from those with experience/knowledge on this.
To fund a potential house purchase, we would need to transfer a fairly sizeable amount of money from the UK to Canada. The amount would be c.$300k CAD.
Is it best just to do it bank to bank, or are there smarter ways/cheaper ways?
Thanks in advance.

Transferwise or similar offers better rates than banks - my advice would be to check out with a smaller amount first � ����

I used them for moving money around the amount you are talking also for house purchase in Canada.

Re: Transferring money between UK and Canada
we used Moneycorp and they were really good and we got a slightly higher exchange rate - we also transferred a very large amount and then used them again for a few additional transfers..
