Guys, I need to send a cheque to Ireland but have to pay in Euros. Can I do this with a UK cheque book?

Thanks

MattW

No.

You can send a cheque in sterling which they can cash and convert at the prevailing rate. Other options are Paypal or credit card.

Ok, thanks for that

You may be able to pay by bank transfer - sorry not sure. But worth asking your bank. You'd need their bank details and your bank would make a charge. dl

You probably COULD do what David says, but be warned: a bank transfer to a foreign bank is a load of work.
You need IBank numbers for BOTH banks, full account details for both banks, plus it'll cost you a MINIMUM of £18 to do, £40 at some banks

The bl**dy form takes 15 minutes to fill in!

So much for open European banking.

OK. Plan B then. If it's a small amount say under £200 then just get Euro cash from a PO, hide cash well in an envelope and just post to them using International Signed and Insured. dl

Been there, done that, it does work

Not sure that would be appropriate.. its for a replacement share certificate; the registrar's in Dublin. Will ring them tomorrow and see what they recommend.

Thanks for the advice everyone

Cheap flight to Dublin, there and back in a day, pay in cash?
