In the next few months I will need to exchange around €160K into USD and am looking for the best way to do this. In the past, and for smaller amounts, I've used Transferwise. If I use them for this transaction then it will cost me 0.5% (around €800) in fees. I'm therefore wondering whether it would be better value to use a dedicated FX service. I seem to recall Argentex being mentioned on a previous thread but want to know if there are other recommended options.

Grateful for any advice.

I'm one of the members that uses Argentex a lot and they have been around a lot longer then the newer companies like Transferwise.

Chris Canning is the manager I always deal with direct and service is personal and rates cheapest I can find.
Thanks for that. I'll give Chris a call and see what he says.

Just to update this thread. I went with Argentex after doing some more research. Very impressed with the service so far and I would certainly recommend them.
