I'v just booked a holiday for a group of us going to Sardinia in July.
We are required to pay the deposit in Euros via an electronic bank transfere.
I have all the details of the account it needs to go to, but I have no idea how to go about doing it.
Is it the same as a transfer in the UK? ind what do I do regarding the rponds and Euros, do I just convert it and pay the equivalent in pounds?
Does anyone know if there is any charge for doing this?

I'd go to your bank and do it from there, just coz I'm paranoid.

As for charges - there is a charge for this, and it's usually quite a noticable one. I used to need to transfer money between NL and GB about once a year and IIRC it was about 5% or 10% charge to do it electronically. Hopefully you'll get a better deal than that

Usually your bank will charge a flat fee! My babk (Barclays) Charges about £20!!! Can't you pay on your debit/credit car it will then get automatically converted to Euros and it won't cost you nowt!!!

The cost can vary with the type of transfer. My bank offers an 'express' and 'economy' transfer. The ecomony is cheaper but takes a little longer. As you are paying for a holiday, there is no desperste rush to get the funds to the other bank. If you use a credit/debit card check to see if an additional fee is levied, my bank charges an extra 2.75%.
