Hi,
Our spanish bank is banco de andalucia and i want to put money in there from england.

Went in to our halifax branch and was told that if i wish to transfere cash in to the spanish account they will charge me £17.95 on each time i wish to do so :curse:
Does anyone know how i can get it transfered to spain with out being charged a huge amount.
As some times i only want to stick 20 quid in it, so i dont want to have a huge charge.

Thanks for taking time to read this

Can't help Miss N but wanted to say that we have an Halifax bank account and because of the high charges when transferring money to a bank in Spain we opened a Spanish Halifax account. The transfer is free between the Halifax in the uk and Halifax in Spain. Then when we wish to transfer money to another Spanish bank we use our Halifax.es account and the charge is only 1.80 euros.

Yes I can. Register with www.sun-pay.com
Its a quick and easy way to transfer out smaller amounts. I use it all the time now, because UK bank will always make a hefty charge. The Spanish bank charges nothing.
You simply transfer the amount in £ to your Sunpay £ account, then change it to your Sunpay euro account, and then send it to your Spanish account. Theres a one off charge of 10 euros for every transfer, so make sure its worth it.
Also, the rates of exchange you get are very similar to ITT Moneycorp. They are free of course to transfer, but there are minimums I believe.

could you use Pay Pal do you think?

You'd need two email addresses I gues, but yes. I noticed though the fees for making foreign payments are quite high and they twiddle with the r/ex

I have 4 e-mail addresses, and a website so I wonder if that would help. May have to investigate.

I bow before you your hugeness

Whats your website then?
I've got a front web page, but working on the main bit

Mt hugeness? I'm just very dodgy!

The website is for work, Its being updated at the mo, I have changed the addy to a .com, easier to move it if you know what I mean, when its finished I will post a link.

what do you do? IT?

Landscaping, fencing, horticulture, that kind of thing.

All out door based, but I am also studying Viticulture.

Thanks for your help, however the way i feel with halifax at the moment i might take my overdraft and bank charges to another bank

I might look in to paypal not sure how to but i have a paypal account anyway but unsure of how to transfer cash.

thanks guys anyway for your help xxxx

You could but as it means using multiple identities to transfer funds abroad you might be in trouble with the law, the FSA, HMRC etc for money laundering

This is a very good point.

Banco Popular Español is the parent company of Banco de Andalucía. It has a Representative Office in the U.K. You could try calling them and finding out if you can make direct deposits into your Spanish account from the U.K.

Thank you i will call it tomorrow xxxxx
