Transfer Euro to Pound Sterling

    I am looking to send money to a friend in the UK.

    I could just exchange it commission free at the post office and bring the cash over and lodge it to HSBC but I wont have time to do it that way.

    I know I can transfer fund electronically via bank to bank but I will get hit with the commission charge that way. Is there a way to transfer the euro to pound sterling commission free?


    (I'm not a student or anything like that)

    Commission free no.
    better rate than the bank yes.
    Use the search function, its been asked many times.

    I used currencyfair.ie when I was working in the north.

    Do not, by any means, send cash by post (registered or not!)

    Its a safe enough system, especially to UK.
