Forums > Living in Kunming > Problems wiring funds to foreign bank account

I need to send money to my US bank account, so I'm trying to find a bank branch in Kunming that will take cash RMB from non-account holders and set up a direct wire transfer. I was able to do this routinely in another province where I lived until recently. But I haven't been able to do the same thing in Kunming – I have visited multiple banks with Chinese people accompanying me and have run into various roadblocks.

Several people on a recent thread (www.gokunming.com/en/forums/thread/8773) said they were able to transfer funds to their foreign accounts, but I tried some of the same banks mentioned on that thread unsuccessfully. This leads me to suspect it's a matter of finding a specific branch location with staff who have some expertise in transfers.

So, if you have used a branch of a bank in Kunming (at which you are not an account holder) to wire money to a foreign bank account, I would appreciate if you can share:
- The name of the bank and (most importantly) the specific branch location

- The documents/information you had to provide
- Any other information that might be helpful (e.g., name or identifying characteristics of the bank staffer who helped you, fees you paid, how recently you used the service... )

(I don't want to use Western Union, since they won't send funds directly to a bank account.)

Many thanks in advance.

@sean1: The thing is that it's a weak field, so I don't really support anyone in particular enough to sing their praises. But Buttigieg (fake), Biden (senile) and Klobuchar (bully) are all just blatantly awful. I suppose I could live with Sanders, Warren or even Bloomberg, although they each have serious flaws.

As far as Pete's donor stats, yeah, a lot of people seem to have been bamboozled, which is disappointing to see. And I don't think the fact that he's the poorest candidate gives any reassurance that he won't cater to the interests that have ravaged the country over the past generation. Maybe the opposite.

Also, while I am not a huge fan of Sanders and therefore am reluctant to carry water for him, I don't think the UK results necessarily translate to the US. Corbyn was abysmally unpopular, due in large part to his humorlessness, links to violent extremists and allowing anti-Semitism to fester within his party. Sanders has none of those faults and polls as the most popular active political figure in the US. Plus Labour's traditional electorate was fractured by the all-important Brexit issue, and there is no comparably powerful wedge issue at stake in the US.

An oxymoron. MAD is bi-directional, hence the "mutual". Both sides have reduced leverage over each other under MAD, because threats to use conventional force have low credibility in light of the extreme risks involved.

Turn that smile upside down, sezuwupom. Expressing positive sentiments about fast, comfortable, affordable and environmentally-sustainable new rail connections is not allowed by the comments police. Anyone who is not sufficiently glum will be ridiculed.

Grace is staffed by American doctors and, in my experience, provides the same level of expertise and standard of care that you would expect to find in a good clinic in the U.S. I highly recommend them.
