Matchbook doesn't take wires from Bank of America, which is my bank. So if I have to use another bank to do the wire, do I need to plan on giving them cash to send the wire (like a money order), or can i simply cut them a check, or is it even more complex in that I'd have to actually open an account?
Thanks in advance. |

I think a cashiers check sent overnight would be your best bet. Unless of course you open another bank account and send your wire through that bank.

Hrmmm. The live chat guy over there that I just talked to didn't give me that as an option - only credit card, bankwire, and interbook transfer...

The answer to the original question is "it depends". In general, banks will not be very excited about doing a wire for someone who is not a customer.

I’ve sent bank wires from banks where I didn’t have an account. I never had a problem doing so.
I never tried to pay for one with a personal check, so I don’t know about that. I just filled out the wire form with them, and handed them the cash. But even at banks where I already had an account, they wouldn’t take the funds straight from my account for the bank wire. They had me fill out a withdrawal slip, go to a teller window (or they went for me), get the cash, and come back. So it amounted to the same thing whether I had an account or not.

Thanks for the info, TLD. Interesting. I used BoA a few weeks ago to do a wire to Bookmaker and they just took the funds from my account, no need to see a teller. I guess it just varies from bank to bank...
