So I just went today to make the wire transfer to the bank but they told me the data that BFL gave me was insufficient to make the wire tranfer?
Anyone had the same problem?
Strange...BFL should have sent you the account #, the routing #, bank name and address, account name and associated address. I can't remember what it was called, but I think there was also another number needed for international transfers. That info should suffice for the transfer. What info did your bank say was missing?
I would think you need the Swift number for international transfers. But that's included in BFLs instructions. Sometimes they want the phone number of the other party (that's on their website). Having done the bank transfer (domestic US), and looking at BFLs transfer instructions, I don't see what could be missing. Could your bank be a little more specific, swissmate?
They sent me Bank name, Bank address, Swift, ABA / Routing, Account Name, Account Number and Account Address.
Apparently that isn't anough.
Anyone knowing bank things or economics knows if that would be enough to make a wire transfer?
Well they should have told what else they need. I'd take all that info plus BFL's phone number back to the bank and demand an explanation for why the info you've provided isn't enough. Sounds to me like you either got an ignorant bank employee or they are just giving you the run around b/c they don't want you to wire funds our of your account for some reason. I'd ask to speak to the branch manager if they are still unwilling to do it for you or can't at least tell you what else they need. Very fishy.
