Hi

I'm about to sell a property abroad and I'd like to have the money deposited as euro's in a UK bank account, I bank with RBS who do not offer such an account.

Can anyone reccomend a bank that does?

Thanks

But they're very slow in processing transactions and their charges are astronomical!

When I transferred the balance from my Barclays Euro account to my Barclays Sterling account the transfer was instant, there was no fee, and the rate wasn't far off the market spot rate.

I think the key point there may be "Barclays to Barclays".
