Can I make a cross-currency transfer to a bank account?

Can I send money in one currency to a bank account in a different currency (IE: EUR to a GBP Account)

 

Yes, you can send money in a different currency, this is called a cross-currency transfer where FX takes place. Some accounts support multiple currencies. However it's best to check with the beneficiary regarding their account capabilities.

If the account accepts the currency, it should be settled. If not, the bank may either convert it to a supported currency or return the payment.
