I had a client pay me once.

He sent the payment from his British Virgin Islands corporate bank account.

My bank took one look at that shifty tax haven and sent the money straight back on suspicion of money laundering. Then notified me, in a very high-handed manner.

Second try, he sent the money to his Royal Bank of Ulster account, paid a trivial fee, then from RBU to me. No problem, an honour to be of service etc etc.

That's how the big boys do it.
