To each their own, I like bitcoin. I can just sit here behind my computer, and freely fire off money where ever in the world I want, drop money into different bank accounts in nearly any country within minutes, etc.
By no means am I some fan boy salesman like bruce_nyc was, but I like it at least, and am sticking with it.
Just like Transferwise Borderless and without the volatilityOriginally Posted by cdnmatt
The SWIFT code may include the branch or it may be a prefix to the account number.
Regarding the dreaded "telex#", could this be their fax number?
No, it was two 4 digit numbers separated by a comma. Definitely not a fax#.
Doesn't matter, money is sent, and he has it now.
matt, why did you even bother making this post? Just about 12 hours after your initial post you sent the money by bitcoin.
He didn't send the money by Bitcoin. He has a treasure trove of Bitcoin which, in order to use it in the real world, he converts it to a real world currency which he then deposits into a real world bank account. But don't challenge his fantasies; he wants us to believe he's living on the bleeding edge and as a Millennial he does things differently - and better, more "hip" than the rest of us
If was a true Bitcoin transaction it would, as you imply, be a transfer from his Bitcoin wallet to someone else's Bitcoin wallet and wouldn't go anywhere near the Lao banking system. And when I say "he converts" I mean "he uses the traditional money exchange dealers that us plebs use, just ones who also accept Bitcoin"
So why then for your transfer did you not just use Bitcoin in the first place as you believe it to be so much easier to move ( and buy) and thus you would allegedly have avoided all of this phaffing about in the first place ? ( well, that is once some randomer wakes up in Bangkok to flip your bitcoin for you of course)
You don't understand, NIrish - Bitcoin is a new religion; you give up all rational belief to be part of "the future"

Whenever I've sent money abroad I've always e-mailed the bank I'm sending money to and asked THEM what THEY want in terms of numbers and codes and this has been successful 100% of the time.
Because it's an Asia-centric forum, so I thought someone here may night what a telex# is. I got my answer in the first reply -- it's some technology that's been obsolete for a few decades now.
