* Third party financial institutions involved in the routing of the payment may levy their own charges. Guernsey Post has no control over these charges and is not liable to pay them. Any “Agent charges” levied will be deducted from the funds sent.
** The speed with which the payment reaches the recipient’s bank account may be dependant upon other financial institutions involved in the routing of the payment.
