Charges for international payments

Hello,

Barclays are charging me for international payments in USD despite them coming from another Barclays bank albeit in NYC.

Are there any household banks who do not charge for international payments?

Thanks in advance.

  • Nope. They provide a service for the appropriate fee. Some charge less if you do it through Internet banking.

    Banks are not you best choice for international payments. Use a specialist currency transfer service. Google for currency transfer comparison to find a list of the the best firms.
  • I need to draw cash out on a regular basis in Italy from my uk Barclays account I get charged over £9 each time I do it. There must be a better way of getting regular cash with out this kind of charge
