They have a floating exchange rate or fixed rupee transfer. The thing I liked is that all transfers are tracked. Everything is done online - you transfer from your bank account to Chase Morgan and they forward to SCI's account in India. I think the web address in America is "icicibank.com"<br />Cheers<br />Peter, Brad plus 3 (Jonathan, Oscar & 'Princess" Alice)peter.bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492619084841559445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443517738838536061.post-33650320969563494502012-04-01T10:52:49.666-04:002012-04-01T10:52:49.666-04:00You might try looking into a credit union as oppos...You might try looking into a credit union as opposed to a bank. Our fee is a bit less than that and they have a service where you tell them the minimum amount of INR you want to send so that the conversion always comes out to the correct amount on the receiving end of the wire. Just a thought.

And I know what you mean about trying to balance optimism with statistics!! Not an easy game, that. But I believe with egg donors, stats are leaning toward your side a bit(moreso maybe than those of us with elderly ovaries trying to prod them into action)... so my fingers are very much crossed for you guys!petitcanardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03195434490361160034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443517738838536061.post-23421897327220325592012-02-13T19:16:06.637-05:002012-02-13T19:16:06.637-05:00Good luck with the money transfers - what a headac...Good luck with the money transfers - what a headache! I wish they would just take credit cards. I should find out tomorrow if my last transfer was successful... it has been a guessing game so far. HSBC charged me $30 for the transfer.
