Harnser Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 We find that the easiest low-cost method of getting sterling into euros and transferring to a french bank is to have the sterling payment paid into a UK bank account and then use Wise (It was called Transferwise ) to change the sterling to euros paid into your french bank account for which there is a small charge and you get a very good rate. The last transfer we did was scary fast, by the time we accessed our CA account it had landed, and there is never any fee to pay it in to the account.

Had it been payed into my UK Bank first I could have transferred the £350 for a £2.47 charge at £1/€1.17. That's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canard Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 +1 for Transferwise/Wise. They really are amazing. I looked at sending £150 to the states yesterday, they quoted 87p for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 With foreign exchange there are always two elements to take into account. To achieve the best result, you should compare both any fees and the exchange rate offered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodrup Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Good news. Prudential have just said they will refund me the €32. I've given them my UK bank details ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
