I was just wondering if anyone else had come across this kinda sneaky action by their bank?
I went through the details carefully and was quoted £32.66 as my exchange and cost to me to send 40 euros, I checked and double checked all that I had entered having never done this kind of bank transfer before, to find that after hitting the send/transaction complete button, my bank had stuck on a £25 fee to make the total they deducted from me to £57.66. I would've not gone through with it had I known, but too late now. Another thing I won't be doing again!!
I am lucky to get UK T3 prescribed but it had been so unreliable lately I thought I would try the Uni Pharma T3 and keep some in hand incase of emergency. The only emergency I have now is blood pressure increase........

Yes, I had to physically visit my bank - bank charges were over £30. I understand though that some banks charge less, also worth investigating Western Union etc.
Thanks, I don't expect anything for free, but it does seem a tad excessive especially when snuck on after the event. Cor, I sound like me old Dad !!

I was told by my high street bank NatWest that it's to do with the country where the money was sent. Couldn't do online banking either.
Thanks for your time, My bank is Santander, been with them in previous owners through to Girobank, I have been a customer for about 34 years!!
Anyway, before I self combusted I gave custmer services a call and have had the charge refunded, and you can be sure I won't be paying that way again.
Thanks again

Well done on getting a refund!
