While we don't do wire transfers from our US bank to our account here in Chapala very often, it seems that when we do it sometimes takes over a week or two to reach our bank, even for relatively moderate amounts (under $5000). I recognize that Mexico has instituted strict measures to control money-laundering, but worder how businesses can operate internationally if such careful scrutiny of transactions is the norm. Have others experienced the same problem? Too bad there's not a preclearance for money transfers the way there is for airline passengers.
