I once asked my credit union about "wiring" money, and they really
didn't have a way to do it. I suspect part of what is going on is that
the US banks can afford to be US-Centric, and may also be in a poor
position to do some things because of US banking law (which still crimps
the style of banks operating across state lines, though not as much as
it used to). I have had Europeans talk about being able to do things
much easier than we can. If all of my understanding has any relation to
reality, then the non-US banks are probably just quoting how they in
general do buisiness with banks in other countries (and they may even be
able to send money to the US in that fashion).
