[Sunhelp] OT: International bank wire transfers

[Rob Staab]

It also depends on the sizes of the two banks. I've had same day service but
then again I work in NYC, NY. This was also a large Japanese bank (Bank of
Tokyo) so that also makes a difference. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all
have the same system.
