PBR's Bank now charges an undisclosed fee of US$25 per wire transfer. I've NEVER seen this trick pulled by any overseas Bank. Even after checking that ALL FEES are paid locally and deducted from the account, their Bank slugs an extra US$25 without authorization = three days later..
AUS$60 in fees just to do a wire transfer at the crap $ rate the bank offers. An absolute disgrace !!
Back to international cheques and they can wait 3 weeks for it to get there.
