 |
|
Hey People,
Just looking for a bit of help with this one since (of course) I'm getting conflicting advice from all quarters.
I NEED to get some of my pay onto/into my credit cards, or one of my Australian accounts. Sounds easy you say - oh no f***king way!!
WooriBank kindly inform me that I need to have been a resident for 5 years in order to transfer money via the internet, KB say sure go ahead, but have their Internet banking for OS transfers all in hangul so I can't even get to it - let alone understand it.
The tellers at my local branch seem overly perplexed whenever I ask for my balance let alone sending money to two/three different OS accounts. So short of dragging Korean friends to have three way discussions into the bank once a month, what are my options here?
I would REALLY prefer to just be able to transfer money via the internet so I can see what's going on, and pay off the mortgage, and maintain credit cards etc. Anyone got some happy experiences that could be helpful?
I'd really appreciate it
Cheers |

| Foreigners are not allowed to transfer money over the internet. The government needs to control the outflow of currency. Wire the money to your account or give the money to a Korean friend and have him or her transfer it. |

No offense, but I haven't found that to be true.
Woori Bank (and possibly others) allow their Internet banking customers to do just that, and in English. Here is some information:

True, it is in English. But have you tried doing it? I tried and it said only a Korean citizen could do it. |

You need first to go into the bank and file a certificate designating your bank as a "foreign currency trading bank". |

| If that works, then I was wrong. I'll have to try it. Thank you. |

I hope it works for you. It's a bit of a hassle initially, but it should work. Good luck! |
