I have to pay rent for a villa directly in to the owners bank account.. When I sent the deposit months ago via my own bank (Halifax) they charged me �19.50 for 190 euros. Is there a cheaper way please?
http://www.worldfirst.com/ a company like this** may help? Not sure if it's a better deal, but worth investigating web site.
I know people use them for paying for accommodation or overseas mortgages. I believe you can do one-off payments.
**I admit they are around the corner from me and I do know a lot of people who work there, that's why I said company like them as I'm sure there are others.
Yes . I paid for accomodation with paypal and pay pal charged the landlord �18.20 . The landlord took it off the security deposit before he refunded the security deposit to me.
Thanks for those answers. I was not expecting to get it for free. I was assuming that I would pay around 10% like last time. So �90 seemed a bit excessive. However, I have just phoned the bank and they said it would only cost �19.50 for the balance of the rental (�850)which is ok. dont know why I didn't just phone the bank in the first place,doh!
Banks generally charge a fixed fee rather than a %. You might find one a � or two cheaper - but hardly worth hunting around unless you are doing it regularly
