Celestine Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi there,I want to send some money from French CA account to Halifax in UK via internet. I can easily send money to and from our French accounts like this but how do I set up a new one to a foreign bank, does anyone know please? When I click on the add new bank bit it says I need some kind of code and authorisation. Will I need to actually go to my branch here to set it up? Also want to set up a monthly transaction to this bank - whats the equivalent of a direct debit called in France please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least that's what SG calls them.I think that you need to register the receiving account with CA before you use it: some online systems contact you and send you a code (eg via pre-registered landline or mobile) to confirm the transaction.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
