Hi, has anyone used XE money transfer to transfer funds to Sabadell bank? I haven’t needed to use them this year, but will need to shortly. Does anyone know if Sabadell charge 18€ for receiving money from XE?
Thanks

Most people on here recommend Wise (Transferwise ) would you try them? Apparently their IBAN is in a EU country so no 18 euro charges and a good exchange rate.

Yes I have used XE successfully with no charges. However found using Wise gave us a better exchange.

XE Changed their bank details so it’s now based in Rotterdam, so there should be no charges into your account. I’ve transferred to Bankinter using XE and have never had charges. If you’ve not used XE this year make sure you use the correct bank details to transfer to. They also require you to provide photographic ID to update your account.

Oh that’s interesting Graham_Lynn, I’ll get in touch with XE and check details. Thanks for the info everyone and may give Wise a try if rate is better.

We have used XE for a while now, and although they don't charge a fee, it can be quite slow. Wise do charge a small fee, but are quicker (I believe).

TransferWise charge £3.69 per 1k. ALWAYS the best rate and completes in under 10 seconds.
