Has anyone used Swift transfer to move money from HSBC Girne to a UK bank. Any problems, doing it with internet banking

No problem whatsoever. I have transfered small amounts from HSBC Girne to HSBC UK. You will get a telecon asking permission to continue within hours of request, say aye, and it is done. Never tried to transfer anything substantial, dont have it anyway in TRNC, this could open a whole new can of worms through money laundering regulations - be careful. But as far as security goes, not a problem.

Out of curiosity



What transfer fees did HSBC charge for doing this online as there seem to be a lot of variation between banks and the website fees list is confusing about whether you pay one or two fees ?



Thanks
