WHY I FEEL CHEATED
Most Canadian banks do not allow international online money transfers, even if they do, they do not exceed a few hundred dollars. Instead of using illegal money transfer arrangements, I have a signed a verbal/ message agreement with the bank that if I send them a signed fax with the required details, they will transfer the money to any overseas account on my behalf. Its a signed and enforceable contract. The problem is every time I send the fax, I have to wait for months to get the money transferred because the verbal/message agreement was found missing from the banks files. I have to send my copy to the bank every time. I do not understand how can a bank not keep signed documents safe and lose them conveniently. To me it seems that banks or bank employees do it just to keep the money in a buffer and take personal advantage from it.

GRIEVANCES
Financial Losses
Lack of Due Diligence
Breach of Contract

RESPONSE FROM Bank of Montreal
I am attaching a new verbal agreement if you can sign this and mail the original back to me. Also email me a signed copy for now. I was unable to locate the verbal agreement on file left with Harris so will need a new one. Please let me know if any concerns.

The other problem is if you are transferring overseas, the banks will give you the lowest exchange rate and charge exorbitant fees
