Is there any risk in sending money home after you've already left the country(for good)? For example, if I wait 6 months for the exchange rate to improve will my bank account still be operational? Using ATM transfers, anyone can easily send my money to my account back home.

Also, I have an international KB card(from 3 years ago), should it still work? What are people's experiences with this?
