The problem is that with Western Union there is enormous charge for the bank transfer, and in the bank for an amount of £25,000 and over is just £20 - £35, although it takes a few days.

I agree WU is expensive but I suppose you are paying for the speed and convenience. When I transferred large amounts through the banking system to buy my apartment, although I was charged a fee in the UK the Tunisian bank gave me a better rate when it was converted - at that time it took 10 working days to transfer, I think now it's inside 7 days.

You guys are getting better deals now. Western Union is very high for transfers. I never use them. It sounds like you did better with the Tunisian banks for the money transfer. My forrmer employer used German banks for their money.
