International bank transfers
For transactions in Euros, starting from 1 February, the most convenient method is the SEPA payment system. This system introduces a unified format for all Euro payments, whether they are debited from or credited to your account. For a SEPA payment, you need to use the correct account identifiers in accordance with the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and BIC (Business Identifier Code) standards. The SEPA payment system is used in all 28 EU Member States, in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Monaco, Switzerland and San Marino.
Generally, any international credit transfers may be liable to transfer fees or foreign currency exchange losses. We recommend contacting the relevant bank before remitting the payment. Sometimes it may be more convenient for all parties involved to pay the remuneration in cash to avoid additional extra fees and other hassle.
