Typical time for transfer to arrive: Either same day (Swift Payment) or 2 days (SEPA Payment) when sent through Currency Index
Spanish bank charges: Up to 0.5% 'receiving charge' with a Swift Payment, so Currency Index recommends using SEPA payments to Spain to ensure there are no bank charges when your funds are received in Spain.
Payment details needed:
