Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone has tried out Maybank's foreign TT via Maybank2u? I am trying to send some money over to China, and although the beneficiary and bank details are quite easily acquired, I have one question.

How is the recipient going to collect the money if I select the cash option? And does it mean the money will be credited to their account if I select 'to account' option?

Any idea how long it usually takes to get the money through?

Thanks ya all!

Nah I just need to send something like RM1000, but I need to do it monthly, so anyone has any ideas on the Maybank Foreign TT? Thanks.

No one here able to answer my question about the cash option? Or is it just through bank accounts?

The receipient is also using Bank of China.

cute_boboi and WaCky-Angel,

I think both of your comments on the purpose of the transaction is very unnecessary and disrespectful. Not being sensitive or whatever here, but if I were you I would reserve those comments lest it reflects on your thinking. Has it ever occurred to you there may be education and family members there? People of your kind really strike a chord in my nerve.

Ash,

They charged the other party? RM150 sounds reasonable, but is it the total for both parties or a single party?

Now I have tried the Foreign TT with Maybank2u, the online form is completely in a BAD design!!!

The address I have to enter for the beneficiary and bank were deemed TOO LONG for the text box's limit. Maybank ought to look at their web design team !

Just imagine someone sending to an address in Russian, well now I need to go to the bank and perform it via the old fashioned forms way.......

Hmmmmm, well I am prepared to see how inefficient the system is. I went over to the local Maybank and they wanted to charge me RM20 for the manual transaction, so I explained my situation to them.

The clerk told me that i could use short forms so long the beneficiary ID, bank account no., and and name is correct.

I submitted a small amount just to test, so it will be interesting for all to see what happens in the next few days. If this fails, then I think it's better to seek other avenues for a FTT if you can't enter the full details online.
