Teamedup Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 In October I sent 1000 back to the UK in 's via the BP. The total cost to me was just around 25 to the BP and then the HSBC CHARGED ME 6 to accept my 's.Yesterday I sent 750 back in travellors cheques. These cost me just over 11 for the cheques and the recorded delivery cost over 4. Incidentally the post office would only 'insure' me for up to 450 with colipost, which I did not take. Now all I have to see is what 'cut' the HSBC is now going to take. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Last year when I was in Bethune of all unlikely places I noticed that one of the banks was being rebadged as HSBC ( same logo etc). We currently pay 9 ( say 6 Euros ) for a low value cross border transfer to our French bank account of up to 10,000 Euros and do not pay anything at the receiving end. There is an EU directive that low value cross border transfers will cost no more that transfers within the same country from June 2003.Might be worth telephoning or writing to your UK branch asking their advice / recomendations and enclosing a printout of the attached :http://www.hsbc.com.bn/bn/corp/pdf/euroeps.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Well the HSBC charged me 3.75 to change my euro travellors cheques into 's. So this has worked out to be somewhat cheaper, but not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
