Quick, simple and effective transfer of funds
The process of transferring funds is very simple and extremely quick. I regularly send UK pounds to my Euro account. I generally receive the funds into my destination account within an hour of transferring the funds to XE. The only thing I dislike is the charge of £3.99 per transaction, which was introduced relatively recently.
