Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone can help....or if I've posted in the right place... but I just wondered.....

I have agreed a special price with a hotel I have used several times and they will honour this price if I can pay direct into an account of theirs - they can't accept cc over the phone and I want to pay up front as early as poss...

So I wanted to know is it possible to make a transfer to a Greek Bank account without paying the £25-39 charges offered by my two banks (Abbey and Barclays)........??

Urs hopefully

Have a look at EuroGiro which is a fixed £7.50 charge. It is operated by A&L in the UK.

No good if OP doesn't have an A&L account - or the recipient the right sort of local account.

The fees quoted by OP do seem on the high side - £20 is more common.

True but OP might have a friend with an A&L account or want to open one to get the 8.5% interest deal (and the cashback) and the Greek end of the deal might have a suitable account.
