Is there anyway I can transfer money from Taiwan to another country (UK) without a bank account (I don’t have one) without using Western Union or something like that?
Does the Bank of Taiwan do this for a flat rate?
Most banks will do a TT for you and yes the flat rate is normally around NT$400 or less.
Some banks may want you to have an account but most do not.
You don’t need a bank account in Taiwan to transfer money and I’ve had to give them cash to do the transfer anyway. You obviously will need a bank account in the UK though. It costs a 400NT flat rate and there is a charge by your bank also (maybe 0.5% when I did it).
I’m having to do a transfer soon, but haven’t opened a bank account yet.If I just showed up at Bank of Taiwan to do a transfer, what should I bring to the bank? My passport and ID or no need for any of that, just cash and US bank info?
Passport/ARC, cash and US bank info.
Iv used Moneygram to send money.
You can send or receive money with their local agent

Hmm…haven’t got my ARC yet. I hope passport is good enough! I plan on going to Bank of Taiwan, I already have an account there, maybe they will let me transfer with just my passport. :s
