Anyone else involved in the finances of a WUCC team a little uncertain about the bank fees on the Czech side of things?

I emailed Honza (the apparent WUCC 2010 finance manager) about it, and he (she?) wrote, linking me to the following image:


That looks like it'd be €6, right?

It wasn't real clear, so I wrote Honza again. The reply, "It is mostly 5,45 eur." Not sure how to interpret that but included €6 anyway, cuz it was close enough.

Now, on our Payments page for Smurf, it says we've a penalty of €22.45.  So, it could be that the fee was €28.45?

I'm still waiting to hear back from Honza, but not real confident I'm going to get a clear answer. Anyone have any insights here?

Not too sure if anyone's paying attention to this thread, but I figured I'd update it just in case anyone was interested.

After some annoying investigations, it turns out that we incurred fees from 2 different banks over seas:

A) Our bank (Commonwealth) routed the transfer through the Rural Bank of Scotland who charges the following fees as of today:
For transfers of:
€0-€100: €3.00
€101- €2,500: €12.50
€2,501 - €12,500: €17.00

B) The Czech Bank (whatever they're called) charged a 1% fee on top of what they received.

So, our deposit of was supposed to be €1,656 was reduced to €1,643.50 by the Scots, then the Czechs took another 1% off that.

If you for some reason care to hear more or have any questions, just let me know.
