just done a test to see if i could and you cant not GBP to GBP anyways (didnt think i would be able to since they are after all a money exchange site), tho since most uk bank accounts do have bic and ibans (how the sent the money to the EU account) you should be able to send money from the uk to the uk, as long as you have an account that can receive EURs ect lyodd international
also update on tracking / transfer as of 8:45 am, my transfer tho a small amount has already been matched to eurs and sent out to the eu bank, and going by past orders it will be received there in under 4 hours (tho they page says within 8 hours it will be received), (why cant ever uk business run this fast heck it aint even 9am yet)
tracking is still waiting to show up but thats just a small side of it a bonus like said before, with transfer wises speed and cost i will use tham again and again anyways more so when i do save about 20% on what i use them for vs the uk market (witch sorry i wont answer this i will but not fully with where to buy from ect)
i will update this again when the payment is received and tracking is complete if it does go thu
edit*
last update on the transfer paid now confirmed as received in the eu, below ill summary it save all the reading, still waiting the tracking but as said before is a bonus
7th 4:45pm: transfer requested and the deposit made
8th 6am: deposit confirmed
8th 9:45am: funds match and exchanged to eurs at 1.16 (witch is very close to googles exchange quotes that interbank exchanges get), and sent to the receiver
8th 4:40pm: transfer confirm by the receiver
so all done in under 24 hours for a fee of £1 (under £300 sent),
just to say how fast this was another way (and transfer is normally this fast this is not just a one off, tho the "matching" is normally a little longer if you exchanging more money but only a few hours),
i sent a request in online banking to move £750 from santander to halifax (£5 reward interest ofc) at the same time as the deposit was confirmed 6am this morning and thats still not showing as of 5pm in my halifax (well its most likely there they just have not updated it so its non confirmed), thats uk to uk even sort codes in the same city the banks are 2 doors away on the local high street lol
yet with 15 more non working hours transferwise can receive my money exchange it and sent it to germany, and the local bank confirm receiving it,
the only step transferwise have yet to do is refund my 10 pounds or so extra (normally 1%) that they take more than needed, when you want the receiver to receive a fix amount (to safe guard against exchange marketing moving sharply) witch since thats uk to uk bank via gero (the slow payment system) its topically refunded in 3 working days, witch is out of they hands unless paying for Faster payment service or the like of, so thats not a fault of them or they service, since i really dont see how they make a profit anyways not well keeping the level of speed and service they have,
i will come back and post if the tracking ever tracks, and also watch this topic to answer questions and thank comments that deserve it,
(until then i will stop bumping the new merchant thread lol)
not going to bump just to add this but
update 11th 10am i have still to receive the tracking (tho as said many times this is a viewed as a bonus only for this merchant, tho i will in time claim for it if neededs, tho i wont dispute it if rejected, since i would of used transferwise and the site i ordered from via them anyways due to the service speed and cost)
but i have received the order 3 days after the receiver got the money, so not only did i save 20% or more buying from the EU but i also got the order in the same time frame i would of if i had paid more and ordered from the uk (unless i paid extra on the already higher cost for next day delivery anyways since the free postage at the uk was quoted as 2 - 4 days)
tho not really needed just to edit to say
provision claim open (mainly since save remembering to do it, i do so many things a day it getting annoying leaving my self notes lol)
and also just reordered via transfer wise tho not really to see if it tracked would like it to ofc, but just to use them for an order (largeish amount this time)
