Re: NatWest Banking Charges

Does intermediary bank mean the sorting bank? I notice that NatWest seems to use Barclays Bank. I always send the money in pounds. I haven't seen such a difference before when sending money so I...

Re: Consequences of the UK leaving Europe

Where are those figures from? I read it was 69% of Labour supporters that voted to remain, and 43% of Tories (according to YouGov). Maybe there is some media manipulation going on again.

If the vote had been remain I doubt very much if there would have been protests in the street and suggestions about voiding the decision in parliament.. The fact is that no one -even most Brexiters-...

Re: Exchange Rate SR-GBP When Sending Money Home

Of course it is possible.. SABB bank here just convert my riyals into pounds and send it straight across to the UK. No special account needed other than my regular Saudi current account.
