There are no extra bank fee's for international money transfer (up to 12.500 euro), normally your web banking should have a special item "International transfers", you would need to obtain the other party's IBAN and BIC code.

Well, you may be able to do this in Europe, but I cannot do this with any of my accounts here in the UK....I have to visit my branch, and they want £18 for the privilige.

The conversation went like this:-

Why I asked, can I not set up an international transfer online? because its a transfer the reply, why I asked, because its a foreign account, why I asked, because its a transfer into someone elses account, why I asked, because of exchange rates, why I asked, I can buy with a credit card and the exchange is sorted out ok, because you have to visit your branch, why I asked....Because only they can set it up, why I asked.........Needless to say the conversation went downhill from there.....

bugger.

I looked it up Kevin and the one item missing in my explanation was Euro-zone

Which transfers will benefit from the same charges as for domestic transactions?
Transfers that satisfy all the following conditions:
transfers in euros not exceeding €12 500 to an EU country;

the IBAN and BIC codes of the beneficiary must be indicated by the originator on the standard document used by his or her bank (the forms are not identical to those used for domestic transfers);

originators pay their own costs

This however is also worth reading;
How will the Regulation apply to transactions with EU countries that are outside the euro area?

If a Belgian firm sends a transfer in euros to a UK firm with a euro account, the Regulation is applicable. The payment originator will pay the same charges as for a domestic transfer. If the UK firm makes euro payments to the euro area, the charges to the issuer will be the same as for a euro transfer within the United Kingdom, and costs to the recipient, if any, will be the same as for a domestic transfer.
