Title: Kraken SEPA withdrawal and bank recommendation Post by: gog1 on March 10, 2014, 05:31:42 PM Done some trading on Kraken, turns out wiring Euro to HK costs 40 Euro which I would rather avoid; I do have HSBC Premier, want some recommendation as to where in Europe should I open a bank account through HSBC that would allow SEPA transfer? I prefer not to pay any monthly fee on the bank account.
Thanks.

SEPA is available throughout Europe with a few exceptions (Cyprus and Faroe Islands, I think). All SEPA does it make it easier to transfer money within the EU (allegedly). I just tried transferring cash from a bank in Denmark to Kraken, and it stated I would be stung for 200 kroner (about £22). Transfer was made on Thursday, money is not yet at Kraken. Apparently SEPA transfers take 1-4 business days. But anyway, SEPA is EU to EU bank transfers, but individual banks can still decide charges (maybe they are limited to a degree).
