Have you ever tried to wire money? Its fucking hard. Even the banks give you the wrong info. It usually takes me 1 month on average with about 4 failed transfers before it goes through
This is a bank problem
It takes 1 day to wire money and it works on the first try, what are you talking about?
Have you tried wiring money to South America?
Ah, that's a different ball game all together. Is that even possible? Last time I tried I had to wire to a US account that my Argentinian bank has in the US and they somehow transferred the money to my account. Still, it took a couple of days and it worked without a hitch.
Usually the process is:
- Go to SA bank. Be very clear about all of the data fields that my bank is asking me, and ask them to tell me EXACTLY what to enter. Get assurance that anything is fine.
- Send transfer
- Get transfer back to my bank
- Call my bank and ask what went wrong. They blame SA bank
- Call SA bank and ask what went wrong. They blame other bank and tell me that something they told me was wrong, and maybe I should try changing X from Y.
- GOTO 2 about 4 more times until it finally goes through.
Yeah, I'm not surprised. I didn't think it was even possible. Whenever I have to transfer money to my bank account in Argentina I use crypto. Much easier. That one time that I used an intermediary US account I had no other option, never tried that again.
