It's important to keep records as I sometimes get asked by the CRA of evidence of tax paid to HMRC. And of course the different tax year is slightly annoying for calculations. My main contractor very kindly provides me with a statement of earnings and tax paid for Jan-Dec so I can report to the CRA more easily.

Hi, also take a look at dualitybanx.com, the fees are fixed so for transfers over €5k they could work out cheaper than Transferwise etc

Huh? Never heard of the Transferwise card. I have an online account with TW and use that to transfer from my UK Nationwide account to my Canadian bank account.

Potential problem. :unsure:

I did my latest monthly transfer and noticed a change yesterday.
The bank transfer option - where it gives you an account number and sort code, which you input on your UK bank site (using a card reader as a one time thing) - is now coming up as Open Transfer and my UK bank is not listed.

Is was not listed previously either, but I could select 'other' and it worked fine. But now it says only those listed.

I had to revert to my previous method - inputting debit card details.

But my UK bank has recently announced a further security step to be introduced when using debit card and it requires contact (text I think) via a UK mobile phone which I don't have.

If the UK bank doesn't have an easy workaround, I may have to open a TW account and have my UK pension paid in or find another transfer service. :(

I have emailed TW. Hopefully they'll add my bank to the Open Transfer list. :fingerscrossed:
