transferring money overseas from us bank
    #19181219 - 11/24/13 01:42 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys,

So I just moved out of the US, but I still have some money left in my US bank account.

It isn't much, but I was planning on using that money to deposit to an online poker account since I couldn't do that in the US in the last few years.  However, my bank (First Interstate) will not let me use my debit card for payment to a non-US vendor or account.  When I asked them about a bank wire, they told me that the only way to do one is in person.

I'm not sure when I'm going to go back to the US, so I want to figure out how to get my money out sometime soon as it isn't really doing me any good right now.  If I don't think of any other ways I'll probably just use Western Union and have my mom pick up the money for me at her bank.  I was also thinking about possibly using Paypal, but the way that I was thinking of using seems a bit overly complicated, since I already have a Paypal acct I haven't seen an option for putting money on it directly with a debit card so I'd either have to make another account and send money to it or something like that.

Any of you have experience with doing something like that?  What other options do I have?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could take it out in cash, under $15k does not have to be declared when you leave the country. You could buy bitcoins with local bitcoin vendors. Buy gold but then the metal detectors will go off. Get a cashiers check and deposit it in your overseas account. Arrange an account where you are now that will accept a check from overseas, then write it to yourself and deposit it.

WU will require lots of id and they have limits per transfer and per day.

Simple, just write your mom a check for the amount that you originally wanted to transfer.  Once the money is in her account, simply have her wire you the money.  I don't know how much you want to transfer but stay away from paypal.  If you trust your mom, just think of her as a 'middle man'  you transfer the money to her account via a check, once she gets it, she transfer it to you. 

Or, depending on your time frame, you can write yourself out a check.  Put your name on the check, write it out for the amount that's left in the account and cash it at your new bank.  Your new bank will simply pull the funds from your US based account.  The issue is that it can take a week or two for the funds to clear.  Contact your new bank and ask them how long it would take to clear a check from the US.

Good Luck,
Lana

I'm already out of the US so I can't take the money out.

The reason I was considering PayPal was because I actually want to put the money on an online poker account, most likely by putting it on Skrill first, but they don't accept US debit cards, neither do most ewallets.  So I'm kind of stuck not being able to do anything with that money at this point.  I want to do this sooner than later, because otherwise I'd have to wait like two months before I start my new job and get paid from it, then open a bank account here or somehow do a transfer without it...

Every option so far seems to arrive at a dead end for me, but I've learned that when I want to do something I shouldn't take no for an answer.
Sooner or later It'll get done, I just want to do it sooner because this money only matters now when I don't have any income.  Once I start this job it won't matter anymore
