I am new to the community and to the country, and a little lost around both. But to answer the questions i’m sure would be asked, yes, i’ve searched the forums for banking and received a lot of useful information but none that directly answers all of my questions. To start, it seems like a lot of people use that Mega bank and are satisfied with it so i might try my luck there. I have already opened an account at the post office because i think i need to use that for the scholarship i am receiving, but so far they have been insanely frustrating to deal with. It’s truly ironic that a world away one can still find stereotypical faults with postal service. Basically, does anyone know if one can do wire transfers at the post office bank? I’ve been told by other banks in english that it is true but at two separate post offices they kept saying “sorry, sorry” in english but it was obvious that my limited chinese and their practically non-existent english wasnt getting us anywhere. So to clarify, does anyone know if it is possible? I’ll assume no for now and move on to which bank would be best for exactly that reason. As i said, i’ve seen in other posts people talking about i think some bank called Fubon (i’d have to look it up to be sure of spelling) and Mega. I’ve seen citibank mentioned, which would be tremendously convenient because there is one across the street from where i live, so does anyone have any personal experience with money transferring from citibank? I’m going to be forthright and get to the point. Even though i may be read seemingly calm, i am actually in need of money and i need a wire transfer within a few days. After exchanging what cash i had, renting an apartment and buying some necessities and obviously daily food (cut down to only 1 meal a day to save), i have cut significantly into my funds. I have been unable to cash most of the 100 dollar bills i brought with me because of the CB printing number. I have been unable to find a bank that would take it. Either way, with the cash exchanged or not, i would still need more funds for my school registration that starts next week and a money transfer is the only way i can acquire the money i need yet i have had a difficult time with what i need. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance --- _[View the full topic](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/banking-and-money-questions/53042)._
