Once again thank you for the info and the links. You have really helped me over the last month or so and I'm really grateful.
Just to clarify, I haven't actually got a BOS current account, only the credit card that they issued. This was a benefit of becoming a member of the Principle Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS) over 40 years ago and I've had it ever since, together with the Barclays account that has now been closed. I don't know why I couldn't mange to get the IBAN and BIC of BOS from their website as I rummaged around in it for about 30 minutes and didn't find it, but I know I'm not that intuitive most of the time.
I'm still a bit confused about what I can do with my Revolut account. Can I pay my UK credit card bill using Revolut, or can it only be paid using my leva online account with my Bulgarian bank.
Thanks for bearing with me.
Brendan
If your Revolut account has provided you with a UK account number, then the transfer is dead easy and instant - usually. But even with an EU IBAN number, you can still transfer money to your UK accounts. If you do this, transfer a little bit more to make sure that the sterling is sufficient. You may then have your c.c. in credit, but my Lloyds c.c. was about 4 quid in credit for ten years for this reason. Far preferable to paying their ridiculous interest rates!!
