Transferwise.com is the best by a country mile, and has £5 quidco I think as well for your first transaction. I've used them monthly for the last year or so with no issues.

Alternatively, you can be referred by an existing member and your first transaction (up to £3k) is fee-free; the best deal depends on how much you're transferring, but send me a PM if you need a referral (I think if I get 3 referrals I earn a whopping £50). Work out if the no-fee transfer or the £5 quidco is more profitable to you though!

Even when you're paying the regular fees, they knock the banks and even the dedicated competition (like Caxton) into a cocked hat. The only downside is they have a more limited set of currencies available - CAD may only be available to/from USD, but it's worth calling if the currency pair you want isn't listed.

If there's anyone better for USD/GBP transfers, I'd love to know; £1k is transferred as US$1640 all-in tonight if anyone wants to compare! ^
