UK money transfer

Hi,

I am transferring money to a UK account at CitiBank. However, I have been asked to supply the following information:

* Currency
* Account Number
* Beneficiary Bank (Citibank London)
* SWIFT
* Routing Code
* Beneficiary Account Name
* Payment Details Line 1

I have the sort code and A/C number for the bank account as well.

I'm wondering if it is possible to transfer this money from my UK Barclays account free of charge, or if I will have to pay a SWIFT fee. Also, could I do this from online banking, if I have to specify all the above information?

Thanks.

    UK to UK should be free as you would only require account number and sort code.

    You would only require the total information if making payments from outside the UK

    if you are transferring money domestically, all you need is the 6 digit sort code and 8 digit account number. SWIFT is for international transfers *only* (you could in reality use it for a domestic transfer, but doing so would be daft)

    and you can indeed send it using internet banking, free.
  • just sort code and acc number is fine (sometimes also reference should be the account name)
