If you think that's bad..... A mate of mine lives in Dublin and wanted to do a bank transfer to someone living in Rome. So, that's Ireland to Italy. Euros to Euros. And the bank charged him EUR15 for the pleasure!! Now how's that work? There's no currency handling fees, there's no exchange rate to worry about, it's all done electronically. If the currency is the same what's the difference between sending it within the same country and sending it between countries? Banking is a rort, a farce and a bloody ripoff. And I've only just started (don't even get me onto sending money back to Australia) |
