    EFTs can not be done online.
    This may be so at HSBC and FD but some other UK banks allow CHAPS and foreign payments to be made online.

    Although HSBC don't allow EFTs (CHAPS) Payments online they do allow priority payments (international payments) through personal internet banking up to £50K with a flat fee of £4.
    First Direct only do international payments by phone or by post.
