A dear old auntie has died and left me some money.
The solitcors dealing with it are in the UK and they can either issue a cheque that I can pay into my old UK bank account or do a bank transfer which will cost £40 + vat
My uk bank = First Direct still active
My irish bank = BOI
So my question is
Should I pay the cheque into my uk account and use a cheap money transfer company to then transfer it to my Bank of Ireland account?
Or just get them to do a direct transfer to BOI and take a chance with the exchange rate?
Its quite a bit of money, over 30k
Many thanks
Oh and which is the best transfer companies?
