Two words – avoid banks as there are plenty of other options. Check out the on-line services of Paypal and Moneybookers.com, as well as Exchange-rate brokers. Moneybookers can charge around £1.00 for a Euros 1,000 transaction which would normally cost around £25.00 at a UK bank. Also check out Envoy which is a reliable and cost-effective alternative, which can save money on each transaction.
