Sorry, my message got cut short. I'm asking because whenever I wire money home, it shows up in my account two days later. On Friday, I wired home 1.3 million won and as of today it has not shown up in my home account. Does it sometimes take longer for transfers to take place? I use KEB.

Just wondering if this sometimes normal.

Eevn on non-holidays it can take up to 3-5 business days... usually it's really quick, but one time i started panicking. it was all good though.

3-5 Business days?

Usually takes me 2-3 weeks! The fastest it's ever been was six business days.

Really?? I do it online from Woori bank... I transferred some last Friday night, and despite the holiday in Canada, the money was sitting in my Royal Bank account right on Wednesday morning!

I think Woori bank has a direct connection with RBC from what i've heard before, ie. it doesn't go via another bank. Maybe that's it.

Are you joking, Incognito? That's kind of shady, honestly. I send money home almost every month and it's never more than 2 or 3 days.

Thanks. I was getting worried it might have gotten lost somewhere in the digital world.

Everytime that I have wired money, it shows up in my American bank account the following business day. If it is taking significantly longer than one business day, then something strange is going on.
