   @thibaultmol If you're sending money to a GBP account, try to use the SEPA and not the SWIFT route. In my bank, the fees are much lower if I specify the amount in EUR and provide only an IBAN. If you use another currency or add a BIC, it becomes a random SWIFT transfer and the effects are unpredictable.

     I asked (one of) my banks (KBC in this case):
     Is this a normal fee or is there a bug in your system?

     They replied it's normal.... what...?!
     The cost is almost the same as the amount I'm wanting to transfer.

     (I try not to use KBC for currency transfers, but wth?!)
