SEPA rules do apply when transferring to the UK (though most UK banks will happily pretend they don't) but only when transferring to an account denominated in Euros, which most UK accounts aren't ;-) > When I just tried to make such donation per instructions [2], i got an > error: BIC code is either invalid or not in the list of codes for SEPA > orders. (original slovenian: "Nepravilna BIC koda, ali BIC koda ni v > šifrantu za SEPA naloge") Because you're transferring to a GBP account not an EUR account, so even if it did work using BIC/IBAN the transfer wouldn't be subject to SEPA rules and there would be no restrictions on the charges that could be levied.
