    I don't think this makes any difference unless outside EU.
    For UK and EU it's £15 (SEPA - the cheapest). Rest of the world - £25.

    Foreign Currency Account rates and charges.

    I think some banks can charge for incoming transfers.

    No, you pay £15.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Euro_Payments_Area

    http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-08-51_en.htm?locale=en
    Crediting of the full amount: the full amount specified shall be credited without any deduction to the beneficiary... . (Although most banks do not charge for the receipt of credit transfers, banks will be allowed to continue this practice. However, if banks do so, the amount charged will have to separately shown and deducted).
    ...
    There is no limit on the value of the payment

    Is there a euro account that pays actually some interest? I can't find any! It could be anywhere in Europe, but I must not have to be resident or visit the country etc

    £100,000 Faster Payments are free, 2 x €100,000.

    In Euro's to another UK based Euro account I would assume the same applies.


    Remember the £75,000 by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme, split the cash.



    Nationwide International 0.65%


    Bank of Cyprus UK 0.75%



    Santander Private Banking https://www.caterallen.co.uk/euro-bank-account-for-individuals

    *In addition, this account offers a euro Cater Allen VISA Deferred-Debit Card; any card transactions made (excluding cash withdrawals) are not applied to the account until the statement date*
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Your assumption is wrong. It's not a FP.

    A UK euro account to another UK euro account surely is not a SEPA

    Surely it is - unless it is something more expensive.
    Regardless, unlike FP, it's not free as you could have easily checked.
