GREECE EURO ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
Are you looking to send money to Greece? Beat bank exchange rates when making an overseas UK pound or euro money transfer to a Greek bank account. Specialist foreign exchange companies can save you time and money over a traditional bank transfer service.
The acceptance of Greece into the European Union in 1981 heralded the beginning of a more expat friendly environment for overseas nationals. As of 2002, Greece waved goodbye to the Greek drachma as currency and adopted the euro instead. There are several thousand British expats living permanently in the country, of which many will need to transfer money to or from Greece at some point.

GREEK MONEY TRANSFERS – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sending money to or from Greece? Find answers with Transfer Supermarket to frequently asked questions regarding international money transfers and related technical jargon.
What is an international currency transfer?
An international currency transfer is typically a financial “bank account to bank account” transaction where funds are sent overseas, to another country, currency and bank account.
What are interbank foreign exchange rates?
Interbank foreign exchange rates are wholesale rates that banks use, also known as live foreign exchange rates.
What is an FX margin rate?
An FX margin rate is the amount the bank, broker or foreign exchange bureau adds onto the interbank foreign exchange rate when they quote the rate for a money transfer. The smaller the margin rate, the less it will cost you.
Who offers the best currency exchange rates?
Typically, for private transactions, brokers offer the best exchange rates for overseas money transfers into other currencies. Brokers offer much lower margin rates than banks, meaning that you’ll receive a better overall deal.
How can I achieve the best currency transfer deal?
Getting the best deal on your money transfer is as simple as finding out what your local bank will offer, and then comparing the deal to what you would receive by using a broker. Try and negotiate a fixed FX margin rate from the interbank rate with your broker, as generally, high street banks are unlikely to offer this type of agreement unless you are a corporate customer making regular money transfers abroad.
My quotation for a money transfer has now reduced in value, why?
If you’ve had a quotation for a money transfer and now you’ve decided to make a trade, only to see that the deal no longer looks as good, it’s the fluctuation in the exchange rate that has made the difference.
After the money has been sent, how long does it usually take to arrive?
Most brokers now offer instant bank to bank money transfers for clients who are trading in major currencies, otherwise the time scale is typically 1 to 3 days. Banks will normally complete money transfer transactions in around 5 to 7 working days.
Can I have full confidence in my broker?
Of course. All brokers that are listed on Transfer Supermarket are authorised by the UK FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), which means that your money is safe as all client funds are safeguarded and held in segregated accounts.
