    Mainly Jim because I have a good bank here PNB and They do look after customers that have faith and put trust in them. Where a Commitment is made to them on having pensions Paid in from Source They can do it and as I say they do, do it. :wink: using a transfer company has to be paid for and they all want a Little slice.:thumbsup: on exchange as well as they Fees they Charge.:whistling: I have been with PNB since 2002 so seems maybe they can look after established Customers.

    Hi Jack, I'm sitting with a friend right now that has a Sterling account at BPI main branch in town. So Sterling account's are available at least at that branch.

    Cheers Ron.....

    Crikey Jack you'v done it again mate, hat of to you. I send my money to a PNB account to my wife, but I use World remit. I take it your pension goes into the London PNB. H ow would I be able to send money direct using PNB and not Worldremit?

    Jim, My Pensions are all payed Direct from the DWP and Gibraltar Government + My private one. They all go to Crown Agents Bank. and Sent by BAC's to PNB
    I don't see it until PNB tell my by mail & Text I have deposits. It really is my best option. Oh I know many don't trust Banks here but I have never had a problem.
    Not only That as you can see, every time anyone messes with their own Transfers, money is lost on Exchanges and Charges.
    Letting the bank do all the Work has it's rewards in the end and for Minimal charges this end.

    Jack:thumbsup:

    Not looking good unfortunately .... experts expecting sterling to fall even more! If you are getting only 57.4 then try kabayanremit. Good service, good rates. I hope sterling can recover in the long term IF the U.K. can pull off a successful Brexit with good trade deals around the world.
