What do you think this is, the 21st Century? You write a paper check, and mail it through the post office to the person you want to transfer it to, the same as people did in the 19th Century.

You guys don't have anything like Interac e-Transfer? It looks like you do. Last edited by Sunspace; at Sunspace View Public Profile Visit Sunspace's homepage! Find all posts by Sunspace. I think that what the OP wants to do is to simply go on to his account at BofA, tell them the name, routing number and account number of the recipient and have them transfer the amount directly.

Bank of America Wire Transfer

This makes sense as this is all the information they really need they do this the same way your check is direct deposited, through Automated Clearing House. The reason they can't do this as I understand it is because you the recipient, not the sender need to give your permission to receive funds in this way and you need to give permission for each possible sender. A service like clearxchange has the recipient go to their bank and give permission before the funds are transferred.

Transfers within the same bank do not use ACH and are not subject to the same rules. Originally Posted by ethelbert.

At the top menu on my account , there are options for Transfer Money: How mine is set up, when I wanted to transfer to MY outside account, it set it up so the money could go both ways.

However, when transferring to another person's account it is set up so the money can only flow 1 way. Also there is a fee on my account that is based on speed of transfer. Can this be done in U.

Chase Bank Wire Transfer – Wire Transfer

Chase calls theirs QuickPay, Wells Fargo has SurePay, and they all work rather similarly to PayPal. You just need a recipient's name and email. Someone sent money to me with one of these last year - I got an email from their bank inviting me to set up an account to receive the funds by entering my routing and account numbers, then the money was in my account two or three days later.
