You can if you are in the UK call them and it is an instant transfer, do it online and they say it can take 24 hours to deposit. My wife then goes to the bank or ATM and can access the money. To do this through PNB Europe, you just have to register with them, just bank details of the account the money is coming from and the account it is going to. It is easy
thanks i will look into that, at the end of the day im wondering if just transfering from my existing rbs account might be just as good, i can test a send out at some point see what they exchange at ect, i know the recieving bank pnb lolita has will charge me 8 dollars on recieving,which isnt such a lot at that end
