The banks strike back!

Oh dear!

A year ago i blogged congratulating the banks on a speedy money transfer (UK to Spain in 18 hours) ... unfortunately the Bad Old Days have returned

It seems that Spanish banks are enforcing the 3 working-day to clear funds even from transfer companies. One recent - and very urgent - transfer took over a week to complete with the assistance of a festival day and a weekend. Call me a cynic but by 'coincidence' the following week my Spanish bank (Sabadell) issued a marketing letter advising that they have their own transfer system guaranreeing 3 days UK to Spain ... OH REALLY!
