It's not. Should I send you my business contract with a German bank?

"All transfer are free for my particular contract with a specific bank" is not the same as "In Germany all SEPA transfers are free".

I don't pay for SEPA transfers either. But they're not all free in my country.

Quoting the SEPA-Wikipedia page: "Banks and payment institutions still have the option of charging a credit-transfer fee of their choice for euro transfers if it is charged uniformly to all EEA participants, banks or payment institutions, domestic or foreign."

Which my bank does.

Can you do both SEPA transfers and direct debit for free on that business account? If yes, I would be very interested. What's the name of this magical bank and do they take new customers?
