Are you expecting to receive the money into a French bank account? Or do you really want a wire transfer service a la Western Union?RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this info your UK bank should be able to exchange your £££ for €€€ and send the euros across. I use the SEPA system for transfers these days as it costs only about £9.. I must add I haven't yet transferred to LaP directly from the UK, but I am aware that the facility exists from reading their blurb. We do have accounts with them that accessible by Internet.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transfer is electronic, via one of the inter-bank services such as SWIFT and all you need is the IBAN for your French account.
