I've been using CurrencyFair for about a year now, after stumbling upon it. Beforehand, I just sent a wire straight from Chase in the US to my bank in the UK (Oh, dear).<p>It's been absolutely fantastic. I was a little hesitant at first, sending smaller amounts through at a time. But now I'm regularly transferring 5 figure sums without a worry in the world.<p>The rate you end up with is way better than what you get straight from the bank. And if there's no rush, I just set an order up at a rate I fancy, and wait for the market rates to wobble a bit, and someone fulfills it.<p>Because of the way it works, your money isn't actually the money coming out of the other end (it never is, I guess, it's all electronic) -- it means that I can deposit $X from my bank in the US, and have that appear as £Y in my bank in the UK, on the same/next day!<p>I haven't personally had any need to contact them, but I've read their customer support is good, too.
