moving uk state pension payments abroad
hi all,
i recently retired and was awaiting my pension to be paid in to my bank acc in the republic of georgia,
i was shocked and stunned to be told it is first sent to citibank america for 5 working days, then transfered to my bank and they take 10 working days to clear that amount,
surely to god there must be a quicker way of sending this money?
i have a small state german pension, which i recieve in my bank acc the same day as when it was sent
cheers carl

My first thought was, where is your awaited pension coming from? Maybe from a country where international bank transfers are more complicated than Germany.....
