Transferring money to UK?

[Fr. Dougal]

Just wondering how people go about transferring money to the UK? I've used Emirates NBD but found it expensive.

I use XE.com for all my transfers. Works like a charm.

al rostamani.. gives you Ek rates (discount) and transfer costs are 45 dhs no matter of the amount...

Dougal.

FYI, Emirates NBD charge me 35 AED to send back £1.5k to Jersey.

How much were you charged..?

Its not the charge that matters, it is the rate, NBD used to be pretty competitive, but not so much now. Much better to use Rostamani or GCEN, I transferred GBP10K yesterday and the overall saving was 280 AED compared with the rate quoted by NBD on the transfer form

I use TTT Moneycorp and have found them to be very helpfull and highly competitive with rates.

I realise the OP is about transfer to the UK but for the benefit of Australians in the ME they may want to use ozforex.com.au

Rostamani usually gives best rates for most currencies:ok:
