I think that's a question for your bank.

perhaps I should be more clear... has anyone had any EXPERIANCE with paying the bills from UK to Croatia? Currently it cost £20 every time I transfer money over! But thanks for the advice on talking to my bank.

Did you buy via the company route? If so you will have an accountant. So get your accountant to do it... its the simplest way. Otherwise open an account with internet banking - raiffeissen and PBZ both offer internet banking in english. If you have to send money to the elec, water companies etc fromt he Uk try to get hold of their IBAN codes, as this will save you money but I'd be surprised if you will find anyone at those companies who would know the answer to that question.

I pay my bills via raiffeissen internet banking very easy. You dont have to got to Croatia to set it up just give a punomoc to someone to do it for you. It can take a few weeks as you wait for the internet token to be collected and forwarded. contact me via pm for email address of the guy I used ,he does it for mainly UK and Irish and only with Raiffesissen

Just some clarification on IBAN codes. These are actually only mandatory for banking money transfers within the EU and I'm not aware that they are used outside of the EU (though perhaps the Austrian banks use them in their subsidieraries here in Croatia?). They consist of an identifying code for the bank, the branch sorting code and account number. Therefore if the utility companies do not deal with a foreign owned bank, it is unlikey they can provide them.

PBZ and raiffeisen definately provide IBAn codes. About this time last year i spoke to one of the senior execs at HPB who told me that under new legislation all croatian banks would provide them by the end of 2006. I think he told me that at that time HPB was one of the few who did not but they were putting in new systems at that time to meet the deadline.
