hi guys
we have been in the US now for over 2 months and just sent some money back to UK and got stung from BOA. What is a cheaper reliable way?

thanks

Bob

Look down a bit....there's another thread from today, or yesterday on this subject....or have a search, it's come up a handful of times a week with plenty of recommendations.

So companies can transfer money in either direction or to just about anywhere you might want.

Bob

Doesn't matter.

It's not like the magical fairies stop the transfer going the other way.

If you have a Chase Private Account you can transfer anywhere with no transaction charge the exchange rates are at market rate, the recipient may however have to pay a transaction fee.

I suspect the required minimum balance of $250,000 might be a stumbling block to some.

I can see afew POSTS on UK to USA... thanks anyway with the sarcasm

Try Citibank - you can have a sterling and dollar account

I've been using Xoom.com, its fast, 4.99 from a bank account is the fee, I've had no issues
