Banco Sabadell started to charge me 18 euros every time I sent money over from NatWest. Not on really as the UK is still in SEPA. I got round it by using Currencies Direct. I get a better rate than NatWest gave me and I no longer pay the 18 euros.

Try transferwise now wise better rate than currencies direct.

Totally agree if I’d have known about transfer wise when I purchased my property I’d have saved about €3,500.

Change your bank even before Brexit BBVA always charged for transfers from UK. I used to bank with them but moved account rip off merchants in my opinion.

I'm with Sabadell and they've never charged before for payments in. I have no complaints about Sabadell apart from that. They have always treated us well. I'm not being charged the 18 euros now as I use Currencies Direct.
