Quoting Loveprague:

Hi all,
I was wondering how the best method was to send money to Turkey from the U.K. I have looked at Western Union and also Moneybookers.com which both seem expensive. I have an e-bay account and did think about PAYPAL but my wife would have to have a U.S. bank account in order to receive it there.

How do other members here send their relatives money in Turkey if they are living in the U.K. any other ideas?
Thanks


If somebody has a foreign money account (USD GBP or Euro, all of them are possible) in a bank in Turkey, they need to learn their SWIFT code or IBAN number for their account from their bank.

In your case, have her open a GBP account in a bank and learn her IBAN number (which is preferred in Europe) and tell it to you. Then you can go to a bank in UK and transfer your money to her bank account in Turkey using that number.

I receive money from abroad time to time and usually I pay the expense (well actually they pay but deduct it from the total I will get) and it is not more than $20 for me.

Thanks to angelina7 Moneygram is very useful and I appreciate your help, for example to send £250.00 English pounds by Western Union costs £27.00 Moneybookers.com is slightly cheaper at £24.00, but Moneygram is £9.99 now that is a saving and infact the outlets where my wife can pick up her money is more accessible
