TransferWise

Safe - Fast - Reliable, gosh if only the Banks could be like this!

Had an email sent to me by my Father in-law suggesting i take a look at Transferwise as it looked too good to be true, but had not heard any thing malicious or adverse. So i signed up to give it a trial and "hey presto" within 24hours my money from the UK was in my Bank account in France without being fleeced twice by my bank for the joy of transferring money from "me" to "me"!
If you have to send money or pay a bill abroad - this service is by far the best i have tried.
