What is the best exchange rate to transfer money abroad?
Before you decide on a money transfer service, compare the exchange
rate offered to the mid-market exchange rate which you can find on Google.
The mid-market rate
is the one the bank or transfer service will receive when they buy currency.
However, it's common to add a markup – effectively an extra fee – to the rate
that is used for customers. This can mean your transfer costs more than you
