3 years ago I tried a couple of ways of transferring money direct, always stopped due to risk factor. Basically the Banks are making it difficult (they feel threatened). Would personally suggest doing it via BTC and forget fiat currency.
What I did 3 years ago was bought a pallet of S4 for fiat currency from someone in the EU (where I am based) then mined some BTC and used that to get some T9s and Avalon 741s. BTC is awesome, no numpty Bankers trying to stop you for "Risk Factor", last transfer to Avalon cost me 9 USD :-)
