• We recommend that your child brings about £60 a week pocket money either in pounds sterling and/or travellers cheques.
• You can also send money in advance - either a sterling cheque payable to ‘The Bell Educational Trust Ltd’ or by bank transfer as follows:
  Barclays Bank Plc, Bene’t Street Branch, PO Box 2, Cambridge CB2 3PZ, UK. Bank sort code: 20 17 19, Account number: 80597228, Bank reference: The Bell Educational Trust Ltd, IBAN code: GB38 BARC 2017 1980 5972 28, Swift/BIC code: BARC GB 2103J
• Please note that bank transfers can take up to 2 weeks and you will be liable for all bank transfer charges. Please write your child’s name and booking reference number on the transfer documents and send us a copy of the banking papers.
• Your child can also obtain cash from your bank account while they are in Britain by using a credit card. Please enquire at your bank in your own country if you wish to arrange this.
• We are unable to accept credit card payments for pocket money, or pass on money before we receive it. Because of the time taken to transfer money, we recommend that adequate funds are sent before the course starts.
