Changing Euro to GBP

Strontium

After a sale as I need the money I have a load of Euros in a PT bank account BUT will have a couple of large bills to pay in UK.  I've also got UK euro account, UK GBP account and previously used an FX account when first buying in PT.  Obviously I've looking for the best exchange rates including any fees etc. but there's so many possibilities and rates.   Has anyone done similar and what  method / company was used ?

Many Brits I know use Wise. I sometimes use it at well.

Competitive rates and transparent fees:

  1. Wise (formerly TransferWise)
  2. Revolut
  3. Remitly
  4. TransferGo


For very large sums (e.g., property sales), a dedicated FX broker can be a good option. They offer a more personalized service and can often secure slightly better rates for large transfers.
