I normally use Wise to transfer euros into my Sabadell account in Spain without transfer charges. I had a only €17 euros in a Revolut account that I no longer use so I thought I would transfer it into Sabadell. To my horror Sabadell charged me €18 for commission charges. I won't be using Revolut again any time soon!!

I agree with Deishu - I’ve been transferring money into Sabadell using Wise for a while, most recently today, and haven’t had one centimo in charges from them.  The only charge I pay is a 0,28c transfer charge with Wise.  I can live with that.

...lut again any time soon!!

I have been really pleased with Currency Fair for transferring money to Cajamar. They have given a good rate, only a small charge (£3) and no charge by the receiving bank.

Plus at the moment if you introduce a friend you both get £60!

Good luck!

Wise charges 0,28c per transfer and no charges at receiving bank … think I’ll stick with them 😁

Maybe it depends on the branch. Mine is in Mojacar and I used Revolut about 2 years ago then last week and on both occasions they charged me. Also, they only open on Mondays so I'm serious considering a move to another bank.
