Mickeyboro Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 My nephew's getting married and I'd like to give him some dosh to pay for the wedding band (Ontario's a bit too far for my lot to travel!) He doesn't do PayPal and the means he suggested (Interact) doesn't seem accessible from the UK. My bank want to charge £22, which I would rather goes to him. Anyone any experience to share please?

wateroftyne Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Use my Transferwise affiliate link, and you'll get a free transfer up to £500. And it's dead easy to use :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No. 8 Wire Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I've found TransferWise to be best so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'd never heard of Transferwise until a couple of weeks back. Fella in Norway suggested it, Paypal fees and lousy exchange rate were killing him. After I signed up the money was in my bank couple of hours later,he saved £70.

xgsjx Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Another option is to get a Revolut card. Me & the Mrs got Revolut for going on holiday, as it's an app & card that works just like a cash card, but there's no fees for exchange from £ to $ (or any currency). You can transfer money to people by just using the app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
