Hello,

What is the best way to transfer / convert from my BHD account here in Bahrain, to my GBP account in the UK?

Thanks for any assistance.
Kind regards

You can do an electronic transfer from your bank account directly.聽 Or through an exchange like BFC.聽聽Depends on where you get better exchange rates and lower charges.

I don't do it this way.聽聽I transfer from my HSBC account in BHD to my Citibank account in BHD.聽 Then I move it to my Citibank Singapore account - since it's internal transfer, I get good BHD to USD rates.聽 From there, I transfer into GBP as I don't pay any transfer charges and the rate is as per international market.
