Why this matters

  • The Savings: Choosing Wise saves you 350.6 GBP compared to PayPal, which is the most expensive of the providers we reviewed.
  • The "Hidden" Cost: Always check the Exchange Rate + Upfront Fee. Some providers claim "zero fees" but hide costs in the rate.
  • The Interbank Rate: The current true market rate is 1.1544.
Example: Most banks add a markup (often ~3%) to the market rate.

If the real rate is 1.1544, a bank might offer you a rate of roughly 1.18903, keeping the difference for themselves.

Speed comparison: banks vs digital providers

The fastest provider for transferring money to France is currently Wise, taking roughly Instant-2 Days.

Why is there such a big difference in speed?

  • Banks (usually slower): Most banks use the SWIFT network. This system passes your money through several intermediaries—like taking a flight with 3 layovers. It typically takes 3-5 working days.
  • Transfer Specialists (usually faster): Companies like Wise often have their own local bank accounts in both countries. They don't "send" the money across borders; they pay out from their local reserves instantly.

If speed is your priority, avoiding traditional banks is usually the best strategy.

How to read these reviews

When choosing a provider, don't just look at the score out of 5. You should also consider the Review Volume.

The "Trust Factor":

A provider like Currencies Direct with a score of 4.9 and 18288 reviews is generally safer than a newer company with a perfect 5.0 rating but only 10 reviews.

Exchange rate trend between GBP/EUR

As with many currencies, the GBP/EUR exchange rate moves over time, due to changes in supply and demand. Exchange rate fluctuations can be caused by underlying shifts in how well the economy in the United Kingdom or France is doing, changes in political stability, or even simple speculation, where traders buy or sell currencies based on how they think trends are going to change.
