Yes, I wouldn't want it transferred automatically as you have no control at all over the currency rate you'll get.聽 If you can do without it and transfer it in bulk every now and then, you can make your own decision on whether you think the exchange rate is decent or not.聽 Rates are also better for larger transfers. I swear by HiFx for transfers but wait until I've got at least 拢5K to transfer as the rates only improve marginally for amounts above that.聽 Below that you're losing over a cent/pound and below 拢3K you pay a fee as well as a lower rate again.聽 Direct into Unicredit from HiFX is instantaneous (i.e. without hours) and we've never been charged any fees by intermediary banks to process the payment/receive the cash.
Grazie mille

Thanks very much to all the replies and the advice has certainly helped in making a decision.......I knew I could count on the forum's help. We will now look forward to 2012 to our new life in Puglia and will no doubt in the near furture post other questions as 'newbies' as we settle into a more relaxing and enjoyable time.......now the hard bit of packing/removals. Didn't realise how much stuff you accumilate over the years! John & Angela
Mmmm all that stuff...
