Not really, especially as most of our banks are not part of larger banks who also operate overseas. Moving money from Santander UK (e.g.) or HSBC, Barclays to one of their own accounts overseas costs them peanuts, then they can just use the local BACS equivalent.
Charging £25, or even £10 for this is way over their costs.Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -
