overmonnow Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Okay folks, here it is:Due to sign acte de vente middle of this week (it is Sunday evening as I type this). We have the princely sum of 89 euros in our Britline account as we haven't really used it, but I now need to write a cheque to an insurance broker for the property insurance for 219 euros - before the acte de vente is signed so that insurance is place. We are not going to France, it is being done by a power of attorney.What is the quickest (not necessarily cheapest) way of sending a few hundred euros from my UK HSBC bank account to Britline, so that I can write a cheque on the account and put it in the post in all good conscience?! The best HSBC method seems to take 3 working days and costs £21. I used to work in pensions and we could TT money internationally in a heartbeat, but the staff in my HSBC branch looked at me blankly when I talked about TT'ing money!Currencies Direct, the broker we sued to send the funds to the notaire, have a minimum limit of £2k - but even then it still takes 3 working days. Can anyone help with a brilliant suggestion?!ThanksAlistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
