sending money to uk

[Treefrog2108]

Hello. I needed to send some money from my bank account to a friends in the uk. I sent it from aib using internet banking and was charged 25 euro as i sent it in sterling and chose the urgent option .

I rang aib and asked how soon can my friend withdraw it from his end, but was told it could be up to three working days.

Does anyone know a faster and safe way to get cash quickly to uk from ireland?
Thank you

I made some transfer from BOI to Llyods in London, no charge, it took about 2 to 3 days. I was sending Euros to a Euro account... if there are different curriences involved then I'd expect exchange rate charges.

I used to use transfermate from UK to Ireland.

They are excellent and cheap.
