Making euro payment to German bank

[Marmalade]

I need to make an international payment to a german bank.
I have bic and swift code atc but my bank (barclays) want to charge me £15 to make the payment 79e50

Anyone know of a safe alternative to paying this to my bank to do it?

They won't take a card payment and can only set up a dd to a german account

I always use www.xe.com for transferring money to Europe

It's free for EFT but wires cost some money (but waaaaaaaay less than the bank)

not easy to do without going through a bank
I had a similar issue trying to pay money into my Dutch bank account
they wanted to charge me even though both my UK bank & my Dutch bank are part of the same group

Just had a look at one of my business accounts (alliance and leicester/santander)
I can do it all online banking but they want £17.50 for me taking the trouble to let me enter all the details myself

Is there a significant difference in the price between new and renewal? If not then why not cancel and then take out a new policy. Have you tried phoning ADAC to see if they will take a phone payment?

No difference at all but might be good for account history to keep same membership running, as yet not used and don't want to be in sweden or something in the middle of the night and break down to be told only 500 miles recovery as it's first year or some similar excuse

Is it better joining the ADAC directly instead of the AA, I know if your an ADAC member and break down in the UK then the AA come out anyway. ARe the ADAC better for european cover?

Do you not have the option to have this included as part of your insurance? I pay £50 extra a year for Euro breakdown with Ebike.
