Any issues with transfering money from uk to us bank?

Could post so many smart ass comments, but I won't.... Check out transferwise.

Re: Transfering money
 

Can you clarify 'issues'?

Are there tax consequences of making a bank transfer? No. Just transferring money doesn't cause tax liability.
Will a large bank transfer trigger money laundering reports? Yes, most likely in fact.
Will a large bank transfer trigger tax authority scrutiny? Maybe.
Can structuring a payment into smaller amounts help avoid scrutiny? Yes, but it is illegal (google 'structuring')
Will I get a decent rate of exchange? Maybe, maybe not.
Can my US bank accept a UK transfer? Depends on the bank. Some are not that advanced at international transactions.

Not as long as you can account for it and report it as required.

transferwise makes it easy...

Moved here in March 2015 and have used transferwise every month since then to move money/pay bills and ex-wife. Easy to use and much more reasonable fee than the US banks

I don't transfer significant sums over to the US, maybe a few thousand a year, but so far have found Revolut to be easy to use with good rates.

We've transferred quite a few times and always used TransferWise - they have been reliable and good rates (don't do HSBC to HSBC US to avoid fees - the rates will sting worse!)

The only issue I have is how m=bad the exchange rate is!!
