Transfer money from UK to Canada

[rag61180]

Anyone know the cheapest way to transfer money from the UK to Canada?

Thus far I've been sending money through my UK bank as a SWIFT money transfer, which costs £20 (or about $40) each time.

Anyone know a better method? Do the private companies offer a much smaller fee, or what is the advantage of using them?

PayPal is another possibility. Would have to re-jig my account, and calculate what their fees are. Think I closed down my PayPal account back in Canada, which (in hindsight) was a dumb thing to do.

Many thanks is advance!

How about "wire transfers"?

hello
dear
whats mining of wire transfer?

Wire transfers are expensive but quck.... Other legit money transfer services include Xoom and XEtrade. I use the latter - no fees, and better exchange rates than a bank. Down side is it takes a week to process (which is still faster than depositing a cheque and waiting for it to clear in a Canadian bank).
