Please can someone here help. My brother is transferring me £25 from Spain to my santander acct in uk. He is asking for my swift code but I have no idea how to find this. I bank with santander Epsom uk. Could someone kindly let me know what my swift code would be . Tia

I think BIC and IBAN are sufficient for transfers in Europe and both are in your statements:
BIC: ABBYGB3EXXX IBAN: GB69 ABBY 0901 **** **** **

Receiving money via a CHAPS or International Payment
You will need to provide the sender with your full name, sort code and account number, (or IBAN International Bank Account Number if your account has one). For International payments from abroad you will also need to provide the sender with Santander's Bank Identifier Code (BIC) which is .

I find it confusing: BIC: ABBYGB3EXXX and ABBYGB2L :huh: , but I would rely on what my statement says.

However, it's worth saying that a bank transfer from Spain to UK is likely to cost about £20. Does it make sense to pay this for transferring £25?

Give them a ring and they will provide this for you.

But £25 from Spain.... How much is that going to cost him?

The BIC is the swift code.

Your likely to see about £5 of that £25.

You'd be better of accepting Paypal or Nochex.
