Has anyone wired money to Bali and then been told you have to pay an extra $35 US. Because some clearing house in Jakarta extracts that amount. I used the Commonwealth to do a transfer to an account number for an account in Bali. Paid AUD $28 for the service then told by the beneficiary that they only received a lesser ammount as the bank had used a transfer house that goes through Jakarta. Would love to know how this works and how to get around it.

Be great if some companies that deal with tourists had a account set up here. I know we can do it there from recent forum entries
