Hi, we have been dealing with GCEN in Mojacar since last year and have always been pleased with their security and service. Good luck.

Hi,

We used GCEN for years prior to opening a Euro account offshore.

Many people recommend Transferwise (all on internet) so may be worth comparing.

We used Currencies Direct (https://www.currenciesdirect.com) for a couple of years but more recently have opened a borderless account at Transferwise (https://transferwise.com) where the transfers from the UK to our Spanish bank account are slightly quicker and the rate of exchange is usually a fraction better.
