    I regulary have to transfer money from my irish a/c to my daughters uk student a/c

    thanks

    If you're using your bank for this you are getting fleeced. Check your banks online exchange rates compared to those offered by Currency Fair or Transfermate etc.

    I've only used a company called Transferwise so far. They're based in the UK and are very reliable

    I read with interest on Boards.ie of the company Currency Fair for sending funds abroad and decided to set up an acount with them, only to discover that they do not send funds to Zimbabwe.

    Such a pity as I have family there and send funds from time to time.

    Don't know what the reason is, perhaps it is Robert Mugabe?, but it is limping along economically, and has a good banking system, have transferred from my bank successfully, if expensive, as it hits another Bank enroute and there is a charge for that also!! and Western Union is available there.

    So its back to my local Bank for me.

    Can't really see the relevance of this to the Australia forum, in a thread about sending money to/from Australia?
