Funds Transfer
OK - I know, I know - its another query probably previously answered but I am a little confused.
I have a UK current account - NatWest I have a US checking account x 2 I want to transfer around £20,000/$30,000 to the US. I am (currently) a UKC. The folks at Natwest have, on the transfers page of their on-line banking a means to set-up international transfers. So far so good. I guess this would go via a SWIFT transaction this way. However, from researchin around it looks like the sending and receiving charges could be a bit. Essentially, whats the most efficient in terms of speed, cost and administrative hassle of sending the $30k. |

Re: Funds Transfer
The biggest expense you face is the sh!tty FX rates that big banks give on exchange rates, compared to on-line remitters such as xe.com. You could easily lose 4-5% or more, or over £1,000 on a £30k transfer! :eek:
BTW "SWIFT" is a fancy secure telex service used almost exclusively by banks, so while your transfer may be communicated by SWIFT the funds are no more transmitted by SWIFT than they could be by fax or phone. :) |
