How can I send money to the UK from China

A
#1

Hi, everyone,

I’m moving to Suzhou in the Jiangsu province in a couple of weeks, but I don’t have much in my UK bank account, and want to keep out of my overdraft. I’m aware that it is highly difficult to do a direct transfer from a Chinese bank to a foreign bank. Is there any way I can send money from China to the UK - ideally by myself?

Thanks!
