    Hi moonlighting,

    Thanks for posting.

    As the branch pointed out, the minimum amount for this type of in-branch transfer is €3,000

    If you have already paid for your sterling draft, one option might be to use express post to send the draft as quickly as possible.

    One thing to remember is that the recipient would need to lodge the draft to a bank account and this would have to go through the international clearing system which can take 4 weeks and sometimes more.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Billy
