Kev my man you have struck the Mother Lode.
Maybe the Construction Bank lady has a thing for charming FTs but if others can weigh in with similar success stories could warrant a sticky.
That said I know some schools are locked in to a particular bank and will only lodge pay into accounts at said bank.
That bank usually has sole rights to have atms on campus. |

| I wire money to my home account on a regular basis and have no problems. I also send money to relatives andother people as needed using Money Gram. I never have any problems and have never been asked for tax statements. |

| This info is second hand but here's another idea. I knew a couple in my last job who obtained a second ATM card (Bank of China I think) and sent that home to a (trusted) friend/relative. That person could withdraw the money at any ATM and pay it into their account/spend it/whatever. Obviously, this would need the help of a trusted friend or relative but it's just another idea worth considering. |
