Fidelity is the reason for my problem as that is where my money is and you are correct they are impossible to work with for international transfers

Thanks for all the replies! I am in USA now so I canset up an account where the best deal is. I know a friend of mine living in Thailand can transfer money to Thailand using his Schwab account. I just checked out the WaMu web site, I will send them an inquiry Thanks

I am trying to find a bank that will allow me to wire money from USA to Thailand whike I am in Thailand. I have found most banks and my current credit union DO NOT allow international wires unless I am present in the USA office to do the paper work. I have contacted ING, several local banks, Fidelity, etc. Waiting to hear from Citi Bank as they have an office in Bangkok. Basically I want to wire my social security and IRA moneu I use for monthly expenses. Thanks
