this is my take on EMI big NOs, Avoid Wire transfers always use ACH, as wire transfers have more scrutiny and are subject to︀ harsher justice laws probably compared to ach that goes though a clearing house which is︁ why take more days but safer from fraud compared to wire, and also avoid transfer︂ money to entities and personnel in asia in general, as for why they hate this︃ my thinking is probably is that they need to keep their sheets clean in case︄ of audits in future, as asia transfers are very hard to trace who the real︅ beneficiary of the account you sent the money it's a low cost effort to make︆ money laundering compared to EU, and EMI are just small time wanna be banks that︇ can't weather a scandal if it ever has issues with customers sending funds to recipients︈ that are hard to identify their identity.
