I live abroad but i have a fair few quid in a account with EBS that i wanted to transfer to a currency Forex company in the UK. Unfortunately, EBS cannot transfer the money electronically as it is only a book account.
I could get them to send a cheque and lodge it in my account abroad, but the fees for lodging foreign cheques are higher than if i used a currency trading company.
I was wondering if i might be able to open a separate Irish bank account, get a friend to lodge a euro cheque from the EBS into the new bank account and electronically transfer it to a currency trading company, then finally into my Bank here?
I have contacted nationwide Ireland, who told me that i need to be resident in Ireland. Is this the case with all Irish Banks? Anyone have any ideas how i might complete a transfer of Euro to a Forex company?
