1241575 2011-11-03 06:08:00 I want to send some money to a Bank Account in China. Would you believe that none of the on-line agents deal in Chinese money. This means that I have to go to a money changer with a fist full of cash! Seeing that New Zealand has a trade agreement with China, and China has possibly the strongest economy in the world, it all seems very strange to me. I can send US$ but would be charged conversion fees the other end, also have to find out if the recipients Bank accepts overseas currency.
Why can't I just do a transfer at my Bank like I can to any other country?

1241576 2011-11-03 09:05:00 Do you have a credit card? If so you could make your payment directly. Wife has been doing this for the last 12 months with no hassles or problems . leonidas5 (2306)
1241577 2011-11-04 00:50:00 I have found a local firm that transfers money online to China.

"OrbitRemit is an independent, New Zealand owned company with key personnel coming from backgrounds in the Remittance, Finance, IT, Marketing and IB industries."
I have checked them out and they seem to be Ok.

1241578 2011-11-04 05:11:00 I have been using Western Union to send money to my daughter who is travelling in China and been robbed.
I do it all on-line using my credit card and she picks it up at any W.U. office/agent in China.

Only one problem, there's a NZ$25 fee each time.
