You can send wire transfers online in the US with most banks FWIW.
- ryanlol 9y agoUnless you already send wires regularly, they'll tell you to go to a branch once you click send.
- sib 9y agoNot sure what bank you are working with, but that is not my experience (as a US citizen & resident). I have sent both domestic and international wires completely online.
- ryanlol 9y ago> I have sent both domestic and international wires completely online. Were these wires to a company that receives lots of similar wires? Do/did you have a history of sending wire transfers? Were any of these wire transfers a significant chunk of your account balance? All of these things matter. In the US the average person is simply far more likely to be sent to the branch when wiring $10k than in EU.
- krinchan 9y agoOn the other side though, EU wire transfers within SEPA cannot cost more than a domestic transfer and overall the domestic fees are insanely cheap, if not free. In the USA, wire transfers average $10-25 on the outbound. Inbound, domestic wire transfers are often free, but inbound International transfers can run you $15. This fee structure is why you see Vimeo and Square Cash (and PayPal before those) become so popular.
