Does any one have any experience or recommendations on the best way to do this? My initial thoughts was to maybe send it to my Revolut account and then to my current account?

I did it to revolut very recently, just have to add the revolut as a new payee. Depending on the amount there will be fees from revolut too (for the conversion). The total for me of both the sell fees and transfer/conversion was about 85e before vs 45e with revolut (rough guesses!) as I received the transfer to an irish bank in USD
