Online banking - transfer money overseas?

jammin_2

Does anyone know of a UK bank, whose online banking facility enables you to transfer money overseas? Specifically, to a non-UK (Euro) bank account within the EU.

very unlikely because of the fraud risk. I think they would want you to use telephone banking so they can prove your identity and record the call.

You could try finding a Euro account. Otherwise I'd suggest someone like first direct who are 24/7 telephone based and might give you the services you are after..... for a fee.

You can do this via online banking with HSBC.

Excellent. I wonder is First Direct is the same? (they are part of HSBC)..

Very easy with SMILE,

do it via Structured Payment, costs £8 approx, takes up to 5 days to show.

Wow - that's pricey. :eek:

Just to add, I have an account with AIB in Ireland (in Euros). AIB's internet banking service allows you make international transfers to a bank account in many countries wordwide (including outside of the EU).

AIB's service is free. I can transfer money from my AIB account to a UK bank account online, anytime, without paying a penny. What I'm looking for is a UK bank account (Sterling) that would allow me to do the same in reverse (that is, transfer funds to an Irish account, specifically).

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wondered if anyone can help me out. I need to transfer some money to a bank account in France, but I would prefer a cheaper way than using my bank as they want to charge £10 for it. I had a quick search on the net and have found www.moneybookers.com - does anyone have any experience of using this site - it looks bona fide but I would prefer some first hand recommendations before I try it. Thanks!
