Thursday, June 19, 2008 PataCake Parcela I've made 4 posts Send private message to PataCake	I recently transferred in excess of 150K euros from my Spanish bank (deposit) account to a Euro account with Barclays in Madrid. I was charged 0.5% in commission. Not only that, it took 9 days between taking it from my Spanish bank until it landed at Barclays Madrid. Are these charges and service accepted in Spain?

Interbank transfers in my experience leave on day 1 to arrive on day 2.

The timescale is ridiculous!! _______________________ Regards Sharon sharon@tmasspain.com www.themortgageservicegroup.com Spam post? If so please click here to report it

The banks seem to charge for any litlte thing. It is all very well saying that you can negoitiate but how does one negotiate if you are not based in Spain . Are the UK banks like Barclays that have a base in Spain as expensive for if they are not then I may change. 78 cents is not a lot but it is the principle of the thing . Spam post?
