International bank transfer or SEPA

[hjordan]

I live in the UK and made a withdrawal using a SEPA transfer as the UK is in the SEPA region, but as we don't use EUR, this means the USD were exchanged to EUR and then to GBP. Would I have been given a poor exchange rate? If so, would I have been better off with the USD being transferred straight to GBP, i.e. one exchange instead of two? Would an international bank transfer convert USD straight to GBP?

I don't know exactly how it works, but you should call your bank, they should explain exactly which fees they are taking for each transfer
