By international transfer, do you mean you have been asked to transfer money from your bank account number / sort code to their bank account number / sort code? I have done this before through my online banking with Barclays Bank, and it was pretty straightforward, just a case of putting in the recipient's name and bank account details. No different to a bank transfer to another UK bank. Takes about 5 minutes online (or 20 minute with brain fog!).
The only problem as that I was charged £15 for this; it seems that banks charge extortionate amounts for international transfer.
Was that the only money transfer option goldpharma provided?
It is a really shame this is happening to goldpharma. They are a really good pharmacy with tens of thousands of products in their range; far more than other pharmacies of their ilk. And their prices are good too. This problem goldpharma is having is almost certainly as result of action by that organization LegitScript, the stooge of the Western pharmaceutical industry.
LegitScript have made an agreement with the VISA organization in the US, such that if LegitScript decide to classify a pharmacy as "rogue" — and offering a prescription-free service is enough for LegitScript to give that label — then VISA, by this agreement, will revoke the pharmacy's credit card merchant license, such that they no longer can use the international VISA organization payment network. This prevents a pharmacy from receiving international credit card payments (not just VISA, but any credit card). This is even the case if that pharmacy is not located in the US (which most aren't).
How LegitScript managed to do such a nefarious deal with the VISA organization, I don't for the life of me know.
