International wire costs suck big time.

I paid a guy in Czech republic USD$500 a while back (and I set it to costs for sender) and the next day I see 55 Euros going out of my account with a No. that matched that transaction.
So I call my bank manager and ask what the 55 euro/USD$82 is for and he said it's the costs of the FOREIGN bank and the costs of my own bank will be charged tommorrow....
So I asked him if he was sane in his mind asking almost 25% on 500 bucks over 2 banks doing a similar thing as a text message on a phone.

The guy apologised and I never got the 2nd costs from them.

Greedy bank fuckers
