    I use Ulster Bank, you have to fill in a form with the details you have, if you want it to be there straight away it costs about €25, if you can allow the transfer to take a day or two the charge is 51 cent.

    thanks for that Lyre61,

    I'm with permanent tsb + first active; hope they something similar.

    Would I have to be a Ulster Bank customer to use their service?

    thanks

    Just bear this in mind

    How will things change after 1 July 2003?

    Regulation 2560/2001/EC on cross-border payments in euros established as from 1 July 2003 the principle of equal charges for a cross-border transaction and a strictly domestic transaction within the European Union. When a payment is made in euros between two euro accounts, there is no reason why charges should be different if a payment crosses a border. In today's euro area, geographical borders are no longer monetary borders.

    If it's an individual, a Paypal transaction.

    If it's a business, Western Union. Swift would be my second-choice - all banks in this country can use the Swift system.

    2 day value payments up to €12,700 with BIC and IBAN shouldn't cost more than 51c across the board.

    When I was paying an eBay seller in Germany, all I had to do was rign 24-hour Banking (I'm with AIB) and gave them the IBAN and BIC etc, cost 50c or thereabouts for the transaction, and it took a few days to get to the recipient.
