    Surely it is.
    Regardless, unlike FP, it's not free as you could have easily checked.

    Rip Off Britain, a UK euro account to the same is not a SEPA, its a faster payment in the second UK currency...EURO.

    Why would I check that? I'm not a rich nor a MP moving money between countries or currencies to avoid liabilities, like the majority I'm honest about my affairs and have no need to move my sterling to anything other than sterling onshore accounts :)
    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 ;)

    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

    It's very unlikely that you'll find anywhere that pays interest worth worrying about on a Euro account. Yesterday's Euribor rates range from -.361% for a week to the heady heights of -.011% for the full year. Euro Libor is slightly lower.

    Has someone not been taking their meds again?

    The sole UK currency is Pounds Sterling.
    Anything else is a foreign currency.

    Did you just insinuate someone has health issues they take medication for may have missed such ? One can only assume you meant mental health issues...how vulgar, how discriminative, was not aware MSE allowed such behaviour.


    You can pay in Euro's in the UK.

    Surely - if you say so...rolleyes.gif
    Why would I check that?
    Just in case - before giving an advice and saying "surely"?

    Euros - save the apostrophe for your signature. You need two more to save.

    You can pay in € and $ in Egypt. This doesn't mean that € and $ transfers are free there.

    I didn't give advice, surely implies such.

    Egypt is not in EU nor EEA, stick to the OP subject at hand - Europe.
