Sending money abroad

A question about : Sending money abroad

I am trying to send money from my Santander current account to an account in Mauritius for which I have an IBAN and SWIFT code. The details I have specify a correspondent Bank of HSBC Bank Plc in London, with account number and SWIFT code.

The online foreign transfer option at Santander offers me no option to specify the correspondent information. Can anyone tell me from experience if the money will go through without this information?

My other option is to go into the branch where presumably they can capture all the information.

Thanks in advance

• Yes it will - however it may mean extra fees.
