Hi,
Does anyone have any recommendations for sending money abroad to buy a car? It’s going to be around £65k but my bank appears to want about £1400 of it for the transfer due to their exchange rate.
Thanks

wise.com

Used regularly for 20k+ transactions until they shut our account down for no reason.

revolut.com

I transferred approx that amount with Revolut a couple of weeks ago, converting into USD along the way.

worldfirst.com

Quite clunky but reliable.

Misano Payments

From this very parish.

Used them to send a large sum to Spain a few years ago anf he was as competitive as I could find.

Another recommendation for Wise.com.

Super easy to set up and use with the App.

Crypto es the only one you can use without the raising some flags.
Litecoin passes its coins in 3 minutes, first payment just a tener (10) to check the conection.
Exodus is a good wallet, moonpay you can buy the coins.

Both install exodus, the desktop version.
Write down the 12 words to recover the wallet just in case, set a password.
Copy the sending Address, the receiver Address.

In Crypto there is no returning if you err or your partner on the other end.
Other then that you pay some 2 to 10 Cent for the transfer.

XE have given very favourable exchange rates during previous similar purchases

Thanks for the suggestions all, I used TorFX in the end. Very simple process and app based too.
