Payments from abroad into Small Business Account

My bank has just started charging me £7 every time I get a payment in Euros from a customer in Brussels into my sterling business account. This is a real pain since I know the customer is paying the fees to the Brussels bank for the transfer.

Does anyone know a bank with a business account that doesn't charge these fees?

    I think all banks charge this both ends. Nothing you can unfortunately.

    Get a Euro account with your bank? Get him to pay in GBP not EUR? Either of these may reduce the receiver fees, but it may be unavoidable, depends on the bank.
