Transferring money from NI to USA

[Muck Savage]

I use XE.com as it gives the best conversion rate out there. The banks usually have a bad rate. For XE you input in your US and Other account and transfer when you want. Takes some time to set up but well worth it.

So I tried and failed to get paypal back up and running. It was linked to my old number from back home so couldn't receive any codes etc. Needed the money pronto for a down payment on a house and went ahead and used transferwise. Have to say was very, very satisfied with them. They charge 9.95 stg, I got a rate of 1GBP = $1.60 so ended up with just a little less than putting it into Xe.com to check the rates. Plus it only took a day to transfer from one acc. to another. Would defo recommend them.

Cheers for all the suggestions
