stan Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 With regard to my continuing problem on how to transfer funds to the UK, does anyone know how to make a direct transfer of funds from a Credit Agricole Britline account online. I have been through all the screens and cannot see how this is done. There is the option to transfer funds to another beneficiary, but no means, I can see of actually adding that beneficiary in the first place.

602 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 You are going to love this.... to create a beneficiary you have to send them a fax or scanned email of an instruction to create a beneficiary on the account. This has to be signed and dated. I do this by writing the instruction then scanning it and emailing it. To be fair it appears on the account within hours. You can then do electronic transfers to that beneficiary to your hearts content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefluvvie Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not so ! You can't set up an on-line beneficiary outside the eurozone!Chiefluvvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Oh, Stan.This is for 40euros - right?I'm sure your relative wouldn't want you to go through all this angst for 40euros.If it were me I'd want to pay in the 40euros at your bank for you and you can pay me somehow - bring me some nice French wine next time you come over to UK, or order me some books from Amazon or something.I know how you feel about this being like borrowing money but just try to think out of the box perhaps.

Chiefluvvie Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Whatever.....In that case you only need to set up your first beneficiary via fax / email - after that you simply set them up yourself on-line. Dead simple....Chiefluvvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
