I am back in the UK and feel that the savings (in €) that I have in Santander, with all the problem in the financial market, will soon disappear. So my plan is to move them to my account in the UK.
I spoke to someone in my branch and was told that this will incur a charge of 0.68% plus a 15€ for swift, which I think is a bit expensive.
Has anyone used any online currency exchange dealer, and what is the best way to transfer the money without incurring all these charges.
I did contact both of them this morning. The only remaining problem is to get Santander not to charge me for the transfer or at least not as much as they have quoted me.

I have used currency exchange houses in Canada and Mexico, not in Europe. However the process will be similar.
In my case the exchange rate was better and their fees less expensive than a bank. Personally I would be wary of an online operation, unless it was part of a larger operation that you are familiar with.The name of the Canadian company, which I believe has branches in the UK is called Custom House Exchange, or how about Western Union?
