Mr Coeur de Lion Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Typically, how long does it take to transfer money from the UK to France or vice versa?Sent some money from my French account to the UK two days ago and it still hasn't turned up.Please don't say it's the Xmas rush holding it up ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Depends very much on the Banks concerned as some are more speedy than others. For example Banque Populaire and HSBC and equally as fast as each other and the money either arrives the same day or the next day. Other Banks have been known to take 4 or 5 days, or even more !Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Wow, that's incredibly slow. I'm with CA, and thinking about it, it takes them ages to update my online account details, so I guess they're one of the slow ones then.At least I can rest easier then.In contrast, I sent some money from Australia to the US this week, took one night to get there.

Received a cheque from the US for $70, CA charged me €70 to cash it. I wrote and complained and gave me the cheque and money back. I posted it to my Lloyds account instead who charged me only £5 to cash it.Again, received a cheque in euros from Canon in England. CA wanted €20 to cash that. It's in euros ffs!

Northender Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just hope that if you present a cheque to CA it doesn't bounce.I once held a cheque for 100 euros as a deposit from an Irish client who cancelled and stopped the cheque.Foolishly I presented the cheque to CA.I was charged 15.60 euro for "encaissement"17.14 euro for "Frais Bque Etrangere sur Chqe Impay"35.70 euro for "S En Referer au Tireur"It taught me a few lessons.
