How Do I Put Monies into My English Bank Account?

Mint Aero

So I'm with Barclays in England. I'm currently in Ireland and I'm using my Irish Bank account now. I've managed to overdraw on my English Account and I want to add some monies to this account so I don't owe them anything.

I know they've a branch in Dublin. I'm not going to Dublin. Don't have online banking with my Irish Bank.

How do I add monies to this account?

Currency fair or call nationwide Ireland. They have GBP accounts that give you decent rates to wire money to the UK

Log on to your Barclays account, download a recent statement, you'll find your IBAN and BIC (aka SWIFT) Code at the top. With these you can transfer from Irish account to UK account (same as transferring to another Irish account except that it will arrive in GBP).

To be honest, unless it's a large amount, the rate the bank charges you won't make that much difference to the amount you receive and I find it convienient to transfer directly using online banking, though you could do it in the branch.

For larger amounts a service like CurrencyFair will give better rates.

I'd also advise you to get online banking set up. Otherwise transferring money is much more of a hassle (to visit branch and queue) and usually costs more.

CF is good, but transferwise is great (and cheaper)

If you don't have online banking, than you will need to go down to your local branch and do the transfer there.

if your branch is too far, and if it's a small amount and you are in a hurry (to avoid further cost), you could use western union by either dropping into a local store or do it online. They offer a service where it's going to your English Account. However be warned, your credit card company might charge this as cash advance.

Or if your post office is near you can do an Eurogiro transfer, pay cash and the money goes to your English account.

But in principle it really would be time for you to get online banking and simply do a transfer or use a currency broker for larger amounts.

I think currencyfair is cheaper. Look at transferring €2k on both sides and currency fair is cheaper and offers a better raite
