I went to the bank this morning to make a T/T transfert but in my bank in France ( caisse d'epargne) they can't do that yet...so i wonder if i can pay my supplier by international bank transfert ( transfert without telegraph).
Futhermore i wonder what is the diference between wire transfer and bank transfer.
If you know an other bank in France which do T/T please tell me more

.
I've checked the charge for a bank transfert : 15 euros to china 13.5 euros for the change ( euros to USD) It's a shame

for only $192 to china.

As far as I know TT = wire transfer = bank transfer.

I normally use internet banking to do all my national and international payment transactions. The software I use is from my bank.

Bacs is a 3-5 day transfer

If you are sending a wire transfer, do note that once money is sent, it is usually hard to recall

or recover the funds. Do not send wire transfers to perfect strangers. The above link is an

interesting read.
