BACS or CHAPS, whatever the bank says you have to use.

scrubbedexpat099 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Currency Exchange

There was a difference with xe/hifx and Nat West in my case, but relatively small, and for me the timing was more important.

I still use Nat West, I can action over the phone, and I have found that the rate for smaller sums is pretty good.

I switched to Primecare some time back, you just ask to be put through to the International Currency section.

That's what I did; I just added them as a payee, it was completely free.
