Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
The money can be picked up from most UK post offices, travel agents etc ..
Transferring up to $500 ( £250) will cost $9.99.

Hmm.
This problem begins to remind me of my recent experience with the DMV - take my money... don't care how much... just get the stoooopid problem over with. Actually, I'll have to put up the stupid DMV story sometime - trying to get license plates... four phone calls and three visits later...

I opened XE trade account last year and had nothing to do with employers or credit history. It was very easy. They needed contact details for the banks, is all.

Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
When I signed up for XE trade, I just got asked a couple of questions about what I wanted to use it for, and how much money I was planning to send, nothing about credit checks or employment.

Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
I've used the draft option, and when it comes to proof, well you get an email saying that they have sent it, and then it just turns up between one and two weeks later. So no real proof as it were, but tbh you don't get much better with a wire transfer.

Either they must have tightened up, or Keith must have sounded like prospective criminal I guess. Or the woman who called is weird. Interestingly, they didn't ask him a thing about how much money or what for or anything like that.

Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
But Keith tells me he had tried to keep his UK account open - and the bank wouldn't do it. So that's what happened there.
