Would a signed fax do? That's what my Australian bank accepts.

I have a Bank in Hawaii that imposed that rule on me, got a boatload of $$ in there, and they won;t transfer it overseas,  have to go back and do the transfer in person.  Only allows $1000 in 'pop money' transfers once a week, so that is out, to another bank I have in the US that does send me money to my Viet bank...........over $10K I have to send them a Signed Memo, then they will also call me to verify.   Soon as I get back to Hawaii I am sending all but $1 to other Bank.

Remember anything over $10K will be under the scrutiny of the IRS and your bank is obligated to report the transfer.

Look at it this way, its a safeguard for you. Most banks will do this with large sums of money.

If you really want to buy it, spend a few thousand and fly home to sort it out.

Thanks for that. I did know about the 10K rule, but I'm told that's for bringing in cash and not for puchasing property? Either way, I'm sure the tax man will have his hand out at some point? What I did see was, if I had a business account, I could transfer as much as I want.
