I tried making a fund transfer from IBKR to Maybank but was told that i need to get a Correspondence Bank in order to make the transfer. The Maybank SWIFT code isnt accepted by IBKR. I called and spoke to Maybank and they couldnt provide a solution.

Has anybody here done such a transfer from IBKR to Maybank? Please advice.

As per my post, the SWIFT code is not the issue. Even with multi currency there is still the need to do the first conversion to USD. Im only withdrawing funds years down the road.
