I had a similar issue sending money to Sri Lanka. A transfer that used to take 2-3 days was missing for over 2 weeks which took multiple phone calls to find out where it was and why it wasn’t where it was supposed to be.

It’s easy to overlook the fact that there are a lot of places where the banking system doesn’t work as efficiently as it does in the US, UK etc if you don’t experience those frictions.

I understand. One of my best employees lives in Pakistan. He’s been with me for 13 years. There has been a transfer from my bank to his every two weeks and we still have problems sometimes.
