 |
|
Another teacher suggested that I use a certified bank check to send money back home.
Cost = approx. W15,000
(plus, you might dodge your bank's incoming funds fees)
Where can I get a bank check like this?

| You can get cheques at the ATM, instead of money, if that's what you're talking about. |

...and a check like that, from the ATM, is accepted by foreign banks for deposit?
(also: any chance that you can get a bank check without having an account?) |

No, a check like that is NOT accepted outside of Korea.
What you are looking for is a:
Cashiers check, money order, bank draft (same thing - just different names).
They are available at the foreign exchange desk in any bank.
The charges run from 5000 - 15000 won (depending on the bank, value of the check (simple money orders are limited to $1500 but a cashiers check can be up to about a million) and the currency you are sending (won, US$, CAD, AUD, NZD, Pounds, etc).
You do NOT need a bank account to get one. You DO need your passport. |
