Default Best way to transfer $ back to UK , from the UK

Hi everyone,
I've got a particular problem in that I am now in the UK , but need to transfer my USD back here.

Was all set with Centrip but no one told me you couldn't use a debit card to load funds.
Does anyone know if there any decent options for getting my USD back using debit card?

Thanks everyone!

Short of ATM transactions, I can't think of any. You might find this thread (or parts of it) valuable.

Transferwise would allow me to do £2000 per transaction via debit card, but that was GBP -> USD.

Aside from that, like Ian, I can only think of putting your card in an ATM and withdrawing. You may face some foreign transaction fees, but probably not too bad. The cost effectiveness will just depend on how much.

Transferwise would also be my suggestion. You should be able to open an account from the U.K. and then transfer money in both directions.
