    Not really.

    You can use xetrade.com to transfer the funds. As they will probably use their bank in europe to lodge the funds you should save a little in fees. You will also get a decent rate from them too :)

    "Routing Number"? It could be one of three things, your national sort code (3 digit number that begins with 9 that you use with your bank account number to lodge money). Your International Bank Account number, which includes your sort code and bank account number and begins with IE and is on your statement, or your bank's SWIFT/BIC code with is usually something like BOIIE2k or AIBIE2K, which identifies your bank on the international swift payments network.

    good luck, thats all i can say. i spent MONTHS trying to get money wired from california to my TSB account. what a nightmare. it was from an Etrade account. Etrade hadn't a CLUE!!! but i have had money wired from a different financial instituation in the states to my TSB account several times and it only took a few days.

    I am transferring from citizens bank here in new hampshire. They are one of the largest banks here in new England. The strange thing is that it worked fine last month when we transferred money. The woman who did the transfer isnt in work today:(.

    i would DEFINITELY wait for the woman who did it before. my money from etrade was lost in space for months. it took forever for them to trace it and get it back and then try transfering it again.

    When I was in Ireland my folks in law wired money directly to my BOI account from theres, it took about a week and I dont think there was a charge (there might have been an "outgoing charge" for them but not for me).

    I will wait for her to come back into work tomorrow. It took 3 days last month and cost 30 dollars. Its just annoying as our mortgage payment comes out of my ac and its due in a few weeks. Oh the joys of owning a house.
