Seeing as a few of you have Spanish properties / live in Spain...
Someone I know has money in an account at a Spanish bank. He's now living in London and would like a UK bank account so that he can have a debit & credit card in GBP.
Today we went to Santander (the bank, not the place) and they said that money could be transferred from Santander in Spain but, like money transferred from any other bank in the world, there would be charges to pay.
So is there a way to get money transferred without or with minimal charges?
