Foreign Wire Transfers: Due to recent regulatory changes, effective 10/1/13, FNBT/FCB will no longer offer foreign wire transfer services through Internet Banking or in banking centers.

If you need to send funds to a recipient in a foreign country, you can go to www.westernunion.com to send a transfer using your Debit MasterCard® or visit your local banking center to send a Western Union in person.

What bank is that?

first national texas, but i would imagine these 'regulatory changes' apply to all banks.

funny, I just wrote a rambling projection on how international B2B is the next killer app for bitcoin (now that China is ramping up). https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3351398

Even a year ago it was difficult to receive international wires b/c there is a different USA-only wire system.  Credit unions and regional banks do not get a SWIFT number...  I had to actually GO to a physical room inconveniently located an entire 5 minute drive from my house, fill out forms ON PAPER, and actually TALK DIRECTLY to another living breathing smiling human being to open an account that would accept international wires. :-)  But seriously -- the real issue is that it had to be with one of the big names whose business model is to basically drain your funds with fees, etc.  For example, if I don't do at least 1 txn a month in the account there is a fee.

Joking aside, bitcoin is awesome at medium international xfer. Small can be done with paypal, large with a wire.  The sweet spot IMO is 500-5000 USD.

Better start asking around to see if the banks you use have any upcoming changes to their international wire policy in the pipeline.

Yesterday I got a letter from my bank (German bank) telling me they would reduce the amount I can send from 25000€ to 5000€. My gf who is at another bank for her limit reduced to 2000€ 2-3 weeks ago. They they one can manually increase it by calling them but this increase is only a temporary thing then.... idk what to think about it =/

why are they changing these limits?

Gox 's gap with stamp is only 8% now.  Withdrawals processing?  Or perhaps now that the entire market is rallying people aren't panicking about the earlier perception of a btc bank run on gox only?

This only pertains to 2 of chase's entry level business accounts. If you want to send international wires, sign up for one of their premium business accounts, some even include 5 free wire transfers per month.

This is for all accounts or this particular one? Because if it is for all that could mean they are preparing to take some money from people accounts.
yep, does Cyprus ring a bell.

chances are it's only this one account. Don't get all wet in the pants.


http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2013_10_17/JP-Morgan-Chase-to-limit-cash-withdrawals-bank-officials-say-0524/ - looks like it is about the whole bank.  But the date on the letter is 8 of Nov. - so it has been planned for some time.

Mother of god. Any other banks are doing the same?

What the fuck? That's HUGE!
You can still use Direct Deposit, though. So you can still just move the money to another bank with international wires, or use WU. It is going to be more expensive, though.

What the fuck? That's HUGE!

As regards the debt ceiling, etc, the government will continue to do stupid stuff. Not coming to an agreement is stupid, raising the debt limit even more is stupid. It's all good for Bitcoin long term (But bad for everyone in general and US residents in particular).

Debt ceilings, shutdowns, fiscal cliffs, blah blah.  That's all a bunch of political fund-raising theater.  Creating and then milking each crisis in turn.
Folks outside the US point and laugh, but it's all pretty much an ignorable if ignoble part of playing out the rope that's left.
