    Hi all

    I didn't know where to put this so this was my best bet.

    A few weeks ago whilst I was in Innsbruk I had to visit a Doctor.  The service was excellent and they gave me an Invoice whilst I was there.  I attempted to pay the bill at the time but they couldn't take Euros.  I asked could I pay with Credit/Debit Card but the Surgery didn't have a card machine.  Unfortunately, the receptionist didn't speak much English and she simply handed me the invoice and said "Pay online".  

    So, I have the invoice but have no idea who or how to pay from my standard Lloyds bank account.  

    If there are any German speakers, preferably with UK bank account, please could you advise how to pay this bill.

    Regards
    Have you asked your bank about paying it. Phone them and ask how to do it.
    See my post above. With Lloyds it should be easy to do it online.
    Not my problem. I am not the OP

    I know, but phoning Lloyds is unnecessary as it's easy to do via online banking. Making international payments isn't the big deal it used to be.

    Don’t tell me. Tell the OP who has the problem.

    I did, see my posts above. I'm saying it isn't necessary to call as it's a simple task.

    It doesn’t matter to me. 

    The OP obviously did not know how to do it online so was asking for  advice, so I gave mine. If he needed help the best people to help were his bank.

    If he did not know how to do it online what help is it saying do it online. 

    Explaining how to do it online would have been more  use.
