I must be a true idiot but hopefully there is someone else out there that has been in my predicament. Has anyone ever had difficulty simply wiring money from their home bank account to their new account in HK? What is the typical process? I have called my home bank (Bank of America) and they state that I need to go to the branch office here, although the branch here isn't for personal business. The HK branch states so and basically tells me they cannot help. I need a large sum of money from my bank account to pay for housing deposits, and I cannot get enough out of the ATM due to limits on withdrawl amounts. I've even tried Western Union to send the money to myself (no can do) and then to a friend (sure, but need cash!).
Where did i go wrong?? UGH so frustrating. Any advice is welcome.
