Hi guys,

Just a quick question please. From your experiences, what is the best and cheapest way to send money from your personal Saudi bank account to your personal bank account in the UK?

Also, how much do you usually get charged?

Thank you.

Hi Andy,

I use both SABB account to account (2 hours - 1 day) 46 SAR or Currencies Direct (1-4 days) again 46 SAR.

CD often has a better exchange rate, but not always.

Worth checking on the day.

@Smiler1 thanks Smiler. Huge help! Is that something you can do on their app and it the cost the same no matter how much you've sent over so far? Thanks.

Yes Andy,

Both have an app that are straightforward, one price per transfer.

There is an international limit on transfers but it is outlined in your bank T&Cs.
