SANEF Liber-T Changes! (1 Viewer)

[emjaiuk]

Has anyone else had one of these? It appears that SANEF will no longer accept credit/bank cards for payment of Liber-T transactions. It means we will now be subject to bank exchange rates rather than Halifax Clarity rates.

Not had this yet.

If you have a Revolut card/account use that, you can pay like it is a bank transfer.

Slightly worried by the error reading "in one oh the following countries"

And Lenny I think Revolut now operate SEPA (Direct Debit in Euro speak), I seem to remember something to that effect.

There is an accompanying form which amongst other things asks for your IBAN no.

No chance in this case.

By the way, if you do get one don’t do as I did and struggle with the translation. Turn it over and the English version is on the back!

Revolut give you an IBAN for both € and £ accounts on your card

Far easier not bother with toll roads, it works us.

Wise (previous TransferWise) can also help with this in a similar manner to Revolut. You'll get genuine UK and Euro bank details that can have direct debits. Charges are very low. You get the mid-market rate with a tiny and transparent commision when transferring between balances rather than a "no commission" rate that has a scandalously high spread built in, or worse, a scandalously high spread AND a high commission charge as well. You also get a debit card that allows you to spend Euros in shops/restaurants like a local with no additional charges.

& all are on whichever account you pay from. £,€,$,etc
i changed all my spanish direct debits standing orders etc, to my Revolut account a while back as fed up with the constantly increasing spanish bank charges.

I’ve had a look at Revolt, they seem to charge 50p per transaction after the first one. Are there other charges?

Depends on the level of membership. Explore https://www.revolut.com/ and download the app and explore. Make your own assessments. The exchange rates are far superior to any other retail offering. Many on here use it for buying new motorhomes from Germany as well as a beer in Spain. Your SEPA requirement is a small facet.

I'm a great fan of French Autoroutes. I've had my Liber-T tag for years, and used to be a heavy user 12 months of the year on time sensitive trips. Nowadays we probably spend more time on non toll roads, but seeing as we are still time constrained on our trips due to baby sitting commitments, if we're heading south we'll use toll roads. I find them very relaxing, switch on cruise control and sit back. I also think they're not as expensive as it first seems if you take into account improved mpg and less wear and tear.

A transaction fee on a MH purchase is one thing, but with a credit card SANEF bill you every time you go through a toll booth, just as if you pay manually. If they do that with direct debits it will soon mount up.

You are hard to follow. You wanted to deal with the Sanef SEPA (DD) payment requirement. Revolut give you that. For the record I do not pay a transaction fee at all for any charge except if I exceed €400 per calendar month cash withdrawals from ATM's.
