Hi,
I have some dollars which I want to transfer to my wife in UK, what is the best method?

Bob

A bank, or foreign currency exchange service like xe.com etc.

Millhouse

the on street money brokers just outside Tehran international airport.

Assuming you are somewhere in the Middle East - I would go to any of the little money shops that you see the Indians queueing up at on a Friday morning.

I use them all the time and they are super efficient, very cheap and offer excellent rates - if it's a fair chuck you will get near wholesale spot rates with a bit of negotiation and showing them the live rate on the blackberry.

For smaller amounts see if your bank will give you a free transfer (some accounts have this facility) or try one of the exchange places you see in the malls.

If you're sending anything substantial you might want to consider a currency exchange company, feel free to PM me and I'll give you the details of the company I used.
