Re: Experiences about costs and taxes when retiring in Italy
Looking on Trustpilot, you can see that Wise, FairFX (Equals group) and XE.COM all rate at about 4.5 stars out of 5. I have used the last two from time to time without problems. I am not surprised you're cautious about sending a chunk of money so maybe split it into 3 or 4 smaller amounts over a few days? Which ever agency you use, your own bank may have a limit of how much it will transfer at a time.

Re: Experiences about costs and taxes when retiring in Italy
Hi Shades of Blue - I have an account with Nat West which was opened many years ago before moving to Italy and I've never had any problems.
