Actually, these days it's closer to 9K.


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.

So, how much does it cost you from bank to bank?

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.
