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, for which they charge silly money when used as domestic transfer (such as are used during house purchases), rather than a bog-standard BACS transfer which are generally free (and slow). ISTR that Nationwide charge something like GBP30 for a Euro transfer, and the same for a SWIFT transfer. -- Ross, in Lincoln, most likely being cynical or sarcastic, as ever. Reply-to will bounce.
