I am looking to move to USA how do I arrange getting money from
my brutish bank account transferred to the USA

Can I cash a british cheque in a US bank?

I want to transfer money electronically to the USA
I haven't got a bank account yet there?

Is barclays linked to Bank of America ?
Can I transfer money from Barclays to a Bank of America account?

I know I can withdraw money with my British debit card?

any advice?

Welcome to BE.

1) Please don't post (basically) the same thing in three different places. It annoys the locals.

2) Use the search function just in case the question you asked has actually been answered for five other people since Thursday.

3) See Point 2.

Really? On what visa?

some banks will cash a limey cheque, charge you a fortune though.

All moot if the OP isn't a USC or eligible for a visa though.

BoA/Barclays are linked, you won't get charged for using your Barclays debit card in BoA ATM's etc....but having a Barclays account won't help you open a BoA account.

And it will take approx 8 weeks ... I did actually do this once. I don't remember the fees ... so that would lead me to believe they weren't too bad!!
