    It takes 1 day to wire money and it works on the first try, what are you talking about?

        Ah, that’s a different ball game all together. Is that even possible? Last time I tried I had to wire to a US account that my Argentinian bank has in the US and they somehow transferred the money to my account. Still, it took a couple of days and it worked without a hitch.

          Usually the process is:

          1. Go to SA bank. Be very clear about all of the data fields that my bank is asking me, and ask them to tell me EXACTLY what to enter. Get assurance that anything is fine.
          2. Send transfer
          3. Get transfer back to my bank
          4. Call my bank and ask what went wrong. They blame SA bank
          5. Call SA bank and ask what went wrong. They blame other bank and tell me that something they told me was wrong, and maybe I should try changing X from Y.
          6. GOTO 2 about 4 more times until it finally goes through.
