Bank transfer for those outside UK isnt really practical, the costs involved on a small amount like this are quite high.

For dutch ppl who hate paypal, I'm fine with ppl paying towards ut-assaults latest invoice directly by bank-transfer. Just transfer any desired amount (at least €10,00) to Dutch bank account (Rabobank) 38.51.34.630 on behalf of Gothica, Groningen and please DO STATE utassault and your forum nickname in the transfer-description so you will actually become known as one of uta's benefactors.

Voor iedereen zonder paypal, maar die wel graag een steentje bij wil dragen aan zijn/haar community (lees: UT-Assault), kunnen wij, Gothica.nl een oplossing bieden. Jullie kunnen ook rechtstreeks vanaf je nederlandse bankrekening geld overmaken.

Vermeld wel in de omschrijving utassault + je forum nickname, zodat Martz ook weet wie er allemaal doneren en je dus de eer krijgt die je verdient.
I think all continental bank charges are small between other countries (like Ger/nl) , its just the UK banks that charge stupid amounts, which is about to change i read in the papers. Anyway read kips post if ur dutch.
What, going up again, you mean?
I got charged £26 by Royal Bank Of Scotland because I went 2p into the red for one day (a direct debit I had forgotten about). Having charged me that ludicrous amount for something so small, they then charged me the SAME AMOUNT AGAIN for having been put to the trouble of charging me the first time. So they're charging me a second £26 because they shouldn't have had to charge me the first £26.
£52 in total, and this is while I was unemployed. So I went in and was spitting poison at the branch manager in front of all the other customers, which is probably the only reason they waived it 'as a token of generosity'. All this for 2p. Banks are absolute piss-takers and they have to change.
yeah last time I heard about it, the EU passed a bill that would have all transfer costs abroad be as expensive as on domestic level. so a drastic reduction AFAIK (in germany its nearly for free I guess)
I still dont see how people can be claiming thousands of pounds of charges back, what the hell are you doing to get charged that much/often in the first place?
It's not the fee itself thats unlawful but the amount they charge, as an inaccurate example a bank states it costs £25 to process a bounced check so they charge you this fee where infact its maybe £1-2 (figures made up, dont moan). Most banks in UK will just settle rather than go to court over it, however one bank recently did decide to go to court over £3-4000 of charges and won so maybe this will change in the future.

If its unlawful and you can claim it all back... how come they can charge you at all? How they could charge something which is unlawful?
All people from an EU country having EURO currency can transfer money to our dutch bankaccount directly at very limited fee (do choose cost-option SHARED or BASIC or something like that however, ie, don't have us, nor have yourself take on all charges, that's the only way it's actually cheap ).
