Time taken for international bank transfer
Anyone have an international bank transfer take longer than 10 days after its been deducted from your account?
Maybe it's just the climate right now.
Cheers

No. I have an ABA account. Transfers take 3-4 days usually though I transferred money 2 days ago and received it yesterday.

10 days....I'd be making further enquiries with the outward sending and inward receiving banks.
All my International SWIFT transfers take 1-3 business days, max.

I still have to setup an account here so will be following this thread. Had an account in Thailand which has an absolute shit service. I could not transfer out of the country to pay health insurance as I was not working. Head office blocked the outbound transfer citing fraud risk. I was required to show a work permit which I did not have as I was not working (marriage visa). The money deposited came from Cambodia and had the correct paperwork. So depositing was no problem, using it..... Glad to have crypto and a backup account in my home country.

Cheers peeps.
Bank says wait awhile, as all looks fine.
Just curious.
If they have the correct name and address of the receiver when making the transaction, then any other wrong acc number information would mean a no send, right?
Everything has to tally up together : Name and address with routing number, right?
A routing number that doesn't match a name and address, means a no send?

Ha don't get me started on that one - I got called by the guys at Jtrust on my last transfer to my UK account. Went a bit like ..
JT: Sir, what is the address of the recipient in the UK
me: It is my address in Cambodia, I'm sending money to myself.
JT: Okay, but what is the UK address of the person you are sending to in the UK
me: I've lived in Cambodia for 15 years, I don't have a UK address
JT: Okay, but what is the recipient's address in the UK?
me: ..
JT...
me: Do you want the address on the UK account that it was opened from when I lived there, you know 30 years ago?
JT: Does the recipient live there?
me: ...
me: ... yes, yes he does. A lot. Fine chap you know..
JT: Oh great, thanks!
The pain, but successful
But yes, it seems my last transfer unlike those since I've been here, they were checking the recipient address also. Not sure if it was size related as it was a bit more than usual, but nothing extraordinary.

Something is definitely happening with the banks. My bank in Europe wants to know where I live, what I do. What I plan to do, even. I just don't understand why they find my account interesting with the meager sums I transfer here. But I guess Cambodia still seems to pique the interest of anyone who prides themselves on sniffing out the irregularities around. For sure ABA has problems with US banks, from several reports here and elsewhere.
For the past few years each time I made a transfer to an ABA account, I got a call from compliance who gave me the third degree, regardless how smallish (e.g 2k) the amount sometimes was. The word "Cambodia" raises suspicion and they hate to deal with it. Even Western Union has red flags, which is telling.
Easier to bring a brick of cash and change it in pp at a better rate, if you can do that. So far it's been a smooth option.

Can anybody with some in-house (you worked for a bank, we won't tell your mother) experience with electronic banking explain why a transfer takes ten days? Or even 4?
Surely if the accepting bank has followed the protocols it should be almost instantaneous?
Are they not simply deliberately delaying it to use transfer cash to earn interest for themselves?
Sounds dodgy, tbh

Surely banks should check credentials when opening any account, and international transfers should be part of that process?
Not a year or 5 after some guy opens an account?
What does the transfer time have to do with personal credentials? It usually takes up to a week for most swift transfers to Cambodia from the West, as they have to route your money via an intermediary bank if there is no direct relationship between your bank and the destination bank.
As for ABA, looking at LinkedIn, it seems like a lot of the executives comes from places like
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. I'm no Columbo, but I still sense a few clues hanging in the air here.
