    You'll be charged for doing a euro transfer. I've no idea how much Halifax charge but my bank (First Direct) charge £20 + the £ equivalent of the euro amount.

    Is it just me or does anyone else have an image in their head of Captain Mainwaring with a caption balloon, "Sending money, to Germans?!"

    Re: Sending money to Germans

    Some pikey took £500 of my money out of an ATM in America over 2 days (i got it back within a couple of days). All I got charged was about £2.50 for each ''transaction'' as far as i can remember (also refunded). That was with Halifax, but it was a couple of years ago so might be worth ringing them all the same.

    Taking cash from an ATM is a different set of charges to sending money abroad.

    Paypal is actually really cheap for this kind of thing.

    Yeah it seems so, their conversion rate is slightly less (means I pay £3 more but meh, the bank would charge me more )
