How does one send money to a U.S. Bank account from Qatar?
If I've somehow missed a post that covers this, forgive me - but I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to transfer money to a bank account back in the USA, as it seems like the banks in Qatar don't link with the ones here - even HSBC can't do it. Any advice?
Hello this is Commercial Bank :),
We makes this a simple and secure process. You simply need to provide us with your IBAN (International Bank Account Number), which your bank back home will be able to give you. Within a matter of a day or two you'll have your funds in your home country! You can even set up an account in Qatar in your home currency.

How much does it cost to send to a US Bank account if you go to a bank? Also, how long does it take to reach its destination? Is there a limit on how much can be sent each month?
Go to the top right of your screen. Right under your forum nickname it says inbox. if you click on the link it will show your private mail.
if you would like to contact a person then click on their name in the thread and scroll down with your mouse. There you will see Private message which you need to click on in order to write them a pm.

I assume it means private message, but I have no idea how to send a private message, just posts... REALLY new to these forums... :)
Well, I have an account with HSBC here and they transfer money each month for me to my US bank account. If you have an account with HSBC, they should be able to do it-- talk to someone else. If you don't have an account there, probably better to go to Western Union or some money transfer place like that.
Here's something I just learned. Apparently in the last 6 months or so, it is technically impossible to DIRECTLY send money from a foreign account to a US bank account. Due to 9/11 security stuff, ALL money is screened (and charged $20!!) and sent through somewhere else (can't remember exactly where, I was too angry about getting charged $20 a month w/o warning). So part of your problem might just be that you aren't asking the right question (seems like in Qatar you have to already know the answer before you can ask the question)... So if you are asking if HSBC can directly link to your account in the US, the answer is NO. But, if you ask if HSBC can send money that will eventually reach your account in the US, the answer should be YES.
PM me if you have other questions about this.
go to any bank or money exchange houses n send its that simple
BTW money exchange will give u a better rate then the banks
