Sectus Attendees from Germany around?

[kennahijja]

If any of the German people on my f-list has already registered for sectus_2007, did anyone pick the bank transfer option to pay? If you did, did it work for you? I seem to be having the option of either transfering Pounds with pretty heavy bank charges, or Euros without scary bank charges, but that would up the charges on the receiving end - and both would suck equally.

That said, I didn't get the impressions the bank people were very familiar with the process... Basically, if any of you did it, how? There's also an email in my profile if you don't want to discuss it in public.

ETA: Settled! *hugs You-Know-Who*

F*****' bank charges tend to be an arm and a leg - even more so if you don't use (or weren't given) the appropriate IBAN and BIC numbers; with them, transfer charges shouldn't be more than 8 to 15 euro (the last the max for non-EEC) within Europe. Which is still too much. Using the BIC and IBAN, your bank should give you the option to either split the charges between the parties, take them on yourself, or defer them on the receiving party...
But if Sectus offers you the option of PayPal? Hell, I'd do that - you can utilize it via your bank account, too, without a credit card, and it's virtually free. :)

*nods*
I got a paycheque from a UK university a while back, and it almost killed me how much of that went to feed the bank :(.
Paypal I'm even more ignorant about, but I think things are settled now :).

Excellent! =) You're all set for Sectus now, eh? Neat!!! -- I once got a paycheque from Kerrang!UK, 30 quid for album reviews... and my bank didn't tell me about the necessary codes etc - what was finally deposited on my account was the grand net amount of 15 DM, back then. WARRGH! *shakes fist*

Yup, *shakes fist* does describe it quite well...

... and yes! I'm so scaredexcited! :)
