I need to transfer some funds from my Korean bank account to my account with SeaFirst bank in the US. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks. |

You have to fill out a form at your bank. I can't type Korean on my keyboard, so I can't give you the name of the form.
You'll need your bank name, a branch address, your account number, and the routing number. The cost at my bank is 15,000 won. It's easy.
Cheers,
Q~ |

| I haven't done it yet, but you should also bring along your passport. I believe some banks need to, or want to, write on your passport how much money they've transferred. |

| unless your pay is automatically deposited in your account by the school, you'll need something from them saying how much you get paid as well- just one of those things. |

Hana Bank doesn't need a pay stub. And, I didn't need to open a bank account with them. I just go in with my money and passport and we do the transfer. They told me there's a limit of US$10,000 so sometime before the end of the year I'll have to open an account with them or find a different bank. They used to charge 7500 but recently changed it to 15000, but the english speaking teller is really cute, so I'll keep going back. |

| I have sent about 15 000 US$ home this year from Hana. Obviously you can't send it all at once, but if you can ovoid having them stamp your pass-port, it seems that they don't know how much you have sent. Try going to several different branches, they will probably send it, then ask for your pass-port, so thell them you don't have it, show them a phot-copy, or say good bye and leave the second the transaction is finished. |

Like I said, the teller is really sweet, I couldn't say no to her... |
