Hi Jeff,

There have been a variety of issues post-Brexit.  Can you expand by sharing the UK bank, the intermediary (if any) and the receiving Spanish bank in your exchange?  The bulk of the issues so far haven't been around non-arrival of the funds, but the amount of additional fees being charged by the receiving banks in Spain.

Kind regards,

Kim

Jeff,

Six days, in my opinion, is far too long for the transfer to take effect. I think you need to contact both banks pronto.  I suspect someone, somewhere along the line has typed in a wrong digit and the funds have diverted

I wish you good fortune in tracing your money

E.

I use Currencies Direct with no problems at all, and the money is in my Bankia account by the next day.
