Anyone here ever did a wire transfer (outward telegraphic transfer) of USD to Australia with a local bank in Sillypore before?
When you filled up the application form, the local bank already spelled out specifically to you all the handling fees, agent bank charge, cables charges, commission fees etc that you've got to pay up-front.
But when you check with your customer in Australia, the transferred amount fall short of a few USD. I am curious to know can the "agent bank" of a local bank in sillypore charge you an extra few USD which they claimed as processing fees or whatever fees they called it?
Since all charges already made known up-front and has already been prepaid, can the "agent bank" make such deduction of a few USD without you authorizing them?
Hope someone who has made such similar wire transfer give some comments on such "hidden charges". Is this ethical to do so?
