Hola

I still have my State Pension paid into the H.S.B.C bank in the UK

then transfer the funds as and when into the Sabadell Bank

If I transfer 500 pounds  I have (taken the end of last week) €560 transferred 

The D.W.P are willing to pay directly into Sabadell  (via Citi Bank)  

Can anyone work out (or know) what is the best? please      all Citi Bank state is 0.62€  and 0.52 pound ????

We have always had our state pensions paid direct into our Spanish bank, as they DWP do it at the best rate available when they transfer. Makes it easier to declare when submitting Spanish tax return as you simply use what you have been paid in Euros without worrying about exchange conversions.

State pension is paid at the best rate avilable ...ours is paid directly to Sabadell with no problem. Just inform DWP of the details.
