Raising a cheque in Euros

ben9090

Hi

I need to raise a cheque in euros to act as a deposit for a holiday rental we are staying at in France.

Can anyone advise a completitivly prices way of doing this or is just try my bank (Santander or Halifax)

As its for a deposit it is almost certainly going to end up ripped up. Will I have to prepay my bank to write this or would it only be debited after being cashed (as a standard cheque)

My father in law has Irish accounts. Could a Irish Euro cheque be cashed in france?

Thanks

Ben

Pretty sure you can not use Irish cheque in France- even if it is in the same currency.

You can send a bank transfer- you need IBAN & BIC (I think that's the second one required)- not a/c number & branch code. Order from Halifax: in branch: £19.50, online £9.50.

You might be able to write a UK cheque if they will accept.

or payment by credit card?- commission free with Halifax Clarity card

Don't know if that helps!
