![]() ![]() BoA foreign transaction fee debit and credit cards, SafePass card, etc., can give a person financial headaches and hit your pocket with plenty of fees.that's why my BoA cards now live in the safe. use where you don't get hit with foreign transaction fee, but if living outside the U.S. BoA is fine if living in the States and their credit cards are not bad at all with some of their cash/points rewards for inside the U.S. Maybe after a few Chang beers one night I will just call them up and tell them where to send the balance in my account. Guess I keep hoping BoA might change some policies and fees making it a better bank and maybe even an expat friendly bank.but that faith (hope) is fading fast. I don't know what I don't cancelled my BoA account (not costing me any monthly service charge due to keeping a minimum level in it) since I've moved along to less evil and less fee hungry banks that don't charge anything for ACH transfers and provide no foreign transaction fee debit cards. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I would appreciate any suggestions. I'm running out of money here in Thailand, and I can't get through to Bank of America by phone from here. This same routine happens every time I call. Please try your call again later." My call is then cut off and ended. I've heard this so many times by now that I can quote: "Your call cannot be completed at this time. Then I hear the recorded male voice of doom. Then I hear a new option: press 1 if you are a bank customer, or press 2 if you are a bank employee. I listen to the menu and press 1, to initiate a wire transfer. Here's what happens: I call and connect with BofA's wire transfer phone menu, as before. I've called about 20 times so far, failing every time. So I called BofA's wire transfer telephone number, expecting the quick and easy service I've experienced before. My funds in Bangkok Bank are running low, and I need to replenish them in order to keep the retirement visa going. I did this several times without problems for seven years.īut now, there seems to be a problem. When I went back to America in 2005, I set up a repetitive wire transfer with Bank of America, so that I could move money from my BofA account to my Bangkok Bank account (paying BofA's $45 service charge each time) to keep my retirement visa going. I want to go back to my homeland as seldom as possible. I'm a long-time American expat in Thailand. ![]() I'm hoping there might be someone else with the same problem I'm having. ![]()
