Beermann Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Before my wife and I leave for the States, we will be renting out her apartment. Most likely will give the tenant her Bank of China bank book to deposit the rent money on. So, my question is, what is the best way to get the money back in the U.S. each month? Is it possible to do an online bank transfer to a U.S. account using Bank of China's Online Banking or is there a better way? We can rent the apartment for a quite significant amount, so it would be very useful to us bank in the States. Thanks! -Brent Link to comment

If not, then open an account at a bank that will issue such a card and have the rent deposited there. Wire transfers are expensive. Link to comment

It is an international debit/credit card/ATM card. But, the catch is it cannot be tied to your bank account. You must specifically put money/credit on the card to access any funds. I'm not sure if a tenant can deposit money directly onto the card versus depositing into her account...hmmm Edited May 21, 2006 by Beermann (see edit history) Link to comment
