fekago7493 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi, Has anybody used an Intercam checking account to receive international wires? Seeing their fee brochure of their accounts: https://www.intercam.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Comisiones_Cuentas-MXN-USD31720.pdf It seems they charge 100 USD + IVA for each incoming wire. Anybody can confirm? Maybe if you have investments in their brokerage they waive a lot of the fees? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slainte39 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I think that applies to foreign currencies other than the US dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use US dollars but Canadian ones and transferring money from Canada to my Mexican bank account is is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipstock Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I have used "Transferwise" numerous times to my Intercam account. The money gets to them already converted into Peso, so no charge from Intercam. Transferwise gives the best posted rates, but make their money by adding a small flat service fee. I put enough in to have a few Cedes set up and like that I can only carry my Intercam card. If it were to get lost or stolen, I can replace it a lot faster and easier than any of my NOB cards. I am very happy with Intercams service as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I deposit a Scotia cheque in Canadian $'s to my Intercam account.They told me that I would get a better exchange rate if I did electronic transfers in Canadian dollars. There is no fee added on by Intercam so I would suspect that there isn't for an electronic transfer when they told me that I would get a better deal electronically.

Whipstock Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 It would be interesting to hear if the rate transferwise gives is more or less? You can pull up the rates on their site anytime for comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an accurate source if you have an account, the exchange rate is much lower than their every day posted rate and I negotiate with my account exec for the best I can get that day. Nothing like being able to deal with an actual human especially when it comes to banking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipstock Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I do not see why you couldn't negotiate your best deal;.......then compare it instantly online to see which is actually a better deal? I've tried both ways, and was simply saying what I've found to possibly be a bit better all in cost in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you As a client you probably have certain privileges, if you are interested make an appointment and talk to one of the Officers, they all speak English and are very helpful. I have received Intl. wires, never paid any fee at the incoming bank however the outgoing bank charges 50 CAD$. To avoid any bank charges of this kinds I use the old fashioned check which I deposit as needed for my cash flow. No idea how this works in the US who's banks are less regulated than in Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian banks in general charge you 50$ to send an electronic payment and most have a restrictive amount they can send. Putting in your personal check is the cheapest way, usually fee free at both ends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
