I recently transferred some money from Euro to my Barclays UK Sterling account. This was a substantial amount, way above the usual tourist sized transaction. I had transferred similar amount previously, and been charged approximately 1.5%. This time I was charged 3.4%. I complained, in person and by phone, but Barclays have refused to do anything. Their response may be summed up as 'We have your money and we are not giving it back'. I should point out I have banked with Barclays for many years, and have always as a very good customer.
I would recommend anyone considering dealing with Barclays to be VERY careful. They do not meet any reasonable standard of business integrity or honest.
