Chile Forum

Hi All,

I need to transfer about 1.000.000 peso to my girlfriends bank account at Banco Estado. Uk to Chile.

I was looking to do this by Swift Transfer.

Is this amount under the red flag limit for say money laundering, and will it go in no problem ???

Thanks in Advance............................

Under the limit, but wire transfers can still be a paperwork mess for such a small amount. .

If it is something you need to do regularly, how about mailing her an ATM card for a UK account.

I'm doing exactly this on a monthly basis and not having any problem (from Australia). It takes about 2-3 days to arrive.

I'd have to admit that I can't remember if the first transfer was more problematic or not - I don't remember it being so, however I do have strong memories of trying to use Banco de Chile, so I'd say that Banco Estado will be easier. As everyone says, it is possible your experience will be different than mine
