no matter what currency..See what your country's currency equals in the UK. Is going to be enought to cover what you want or are u just depleting an account or just transferring money for whatever reason...I would say have the transfer made in UK currency..Otherwise you would have to convert it to use it...let them do it and now you know exactly how much UK money u have..Just a suggestion...Good Luck

Most banks in other than very rural areas are able to do this, but it may take them some time, if they don't do it regularly.  It may depend on which currency is being exchanged, too.

THERE ARE 2 WAYS OF DOING IT...\n\n1. IF YOUR BANK IS AN ONLINE BANK SO YOU CAN ASK FOR YOUR LOGIN AND PASSWORD AND FROM THERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER YOUR MONEY TO OTHER ACCOUNT. THIS IS THE FASTEST WAY OF MONEY TRANSFER AS THE MONEY IS TRANSFERRED IN SECONDS\n\n2. WHEN YOU GO TO THE BANK JUST ASK THEM THAT YOU WISH TO TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER, THEY WILL GIVE YOU A "FUNDS TRANSFER RECIEPT" YOU FILL THAT UP AND IN THIS WAY IT TAKES 3 DAYZ FOR THE MONEY TRANSFER.

hey wondemeye\nit is sad to tell you u cant send foreign currency out of the country.I tried last when i was back home but they refused with a vague reason "Ethiopia have very small currency reserve". If it is for Import you can send only through LC statement. they can allow for payments to University's too but only few hundred dollars.\ncheers\nberta

you can recieve money but not take it out over a limit(£500 i think) until your account has been fully veriefied. you'll have to complete four steps to do it but it's all dead easy. look on the help pages of paypal they tell you all you need to know and how to do it.

Paypal should give you a debit card that you can use with the funds from the account.  I don't remember the fees, but I don't think you want to just send money to a bank account from Paypal.  You could send the money to your connected bank account and wire it from there.

If not, bring your account to Barclays. Our equivalent account is called a Cash Card Account. On which you CAN have Direct Debits set up, but not standing orders. Pop into your local branch, its very quick and simple to set up!

That's about right. Can't transfer it cheaper than 40 or 50 bucks. Even that's pretty cheap and if you use a thru bank, you'll incur costs so the final cost will be a little higher.

That seems like a lot of money.  It might be worthwhile to call the bank where you have your account and ask their advice -- there may be someone there who is accustomed to seeing this type of business and can tell you whether the fee is reasonable for what you are trying to do.  And your bank will know about the transaction, anyway, once you get the money deposited.

Western Union is one of  the oldest and largest money transfer networks worldwide. It is one the safest way to receive money since it is not possible to reverse the transaction, especially if the amount is received in cash. More details available at \nhttp://www.money-transfer.in/westernunionmoneytransfer.html\nYou can try.

be carful dont give any of your vital information.  it could be scam.  if they request your bank account so they can transfer the money or anything else like that, dont do it. ask them for a check instead.  after talking with them, you will know if it is a scam or not

I doubt that the ACAT system of transferring money exists in other countries. Your broker's assistant probably sent it to you, which is routine. Contact your broker for clarification.

Your bank is not BSing you, as you put it. The transaction you propose is an extremely high risk transaction in terms of anti-terrorist and anti-money laundering laws. \n\nChina is not exactly a hotbed of money laundering, so I am surprised your bank is suggesting you perform the transaction through Malaysia. \n\nIf I were you, I would speak with a wire transfer manager and/or the anti-money laundering compliance manager at your bank. If you can provide a reasonable explanation and satisfactory reason for your transfer of funds, they may be able to exempt you and do the transaction.\n\nGood luck. Hope this helps.

Bank Account in what country?

I was in Europe not too long ago and by far, the cheapest way to go is use the ATM once you get there. You still pay the "foreign ATM fee" you would pay just like going to an ATM that is not a part of your bank at home (probably around $4.00) which is less than the usual transaction fee to exchange currency, and the best/most favorable exchange rates. This is partially because the bank does not have to keep a supply of the other country's currency.

This is easy.  Get your credit card from Nationwide.  They are the only UK issuer they do not charge you a commission for using your card abroad.  \nRemember though to always pay in the local currency and not in Sterling (otherwise you'll attact a DCC charge).\n\nNationwide actually lose money on the foreign transactions - they have to pay Visa a 1% conversion fee!  \n\nMost of their competitiors charge 2.75% commission!

You can ring the Northern Bank in Belfast and ask for customer services. They'll either post it out if you pay by visa or whatever or you can buy over their website.
