Have you looked into Paypal? We use them for our bike bookings and fr larger sums it is pretty economical and people can pay in whatever denomination they like and you can withdraw in GBP.

Swift/IBAN would be good for us - is it simple for Italians to do? (In England to do this I need to go in person to my bank, queue, fill in forms - the process takes 1 - 2 hours) Graham

It is extremely common in Italy to pay by 'bonifico' - indeed it is really standard practice. Cheques do exist but are rarely used and cards are practically never used except face to face. When I was booking courses all had to be paid by bonifico, as were the various professional subscriptions. Hotel and holiday bills are also paid via bonifico so Italians are extremely used to it. It did not take very long, just had to make sure I went armed with all the required info re account etc. I was always paying from one Italian account to another, it may be a bit more complicated paying into a £ account but you say you have an Italian account so if you are happy to receive the money into that account it should be easy.Good luck.

I use paypal. My Husband, who is lawyer, discouraged me from using Bonifico because you are giving out your Bank Details and as the clients would also have your name and address it would be very easy to incur in identity theft. trust the lawyer! Paola

OK, grazie a tutti. I haven't had good experiences with paypal in the past (nothing terrible), and already use bank transfer from other countries so think I will stick with that. Useful to know it's called 'bonifico' - I didn't know the word. Graham
