Yes, my bank account at NatWest is free, but take an example: for
Euro-transactions they charge a hefty £10 on top of the exchange rate.
...which I doubt is legal. Transactions in euro within the EU should
have the same costs as domestic transfers. How does the bank justify
these costs?
I think they price them as they do "SWIFT" (same-day) transfers [...]
So I gather, they didn't introduce the standard IBAN+BIC transfer that
should last max. 4 days (and would probably be free)? Sounds like
obstruction of EU policy...
