So not a Bank Story but a Strange E Mail Notice

[Karsten]

Okay like I said this is nothing I was told but more so an Update on Bank Policy or what ever.

 

Back story is I have dealt with the same bank since 1997 and get regular News Letters about new Passwords, other security issues and what ever to today out of the blue they are opening a new instant Currency Exchange Branch in Logan, Utah....Now I knew my local branch has a sign on the door that says Foreign Currency Exchange and I really never checked into anything......Now I read this email the the local branch is a 2-5 day deal and the ones listed are Instant or I suppose you Immediately have the funds in your account.

 

I know the grief the last member had when he didn't have the address, teller number and all the codes....I just found it strange with all the Hoop La going on here and there about things happening soon they open another branch to instant Exchanges.

 

News Letter Copy Below.

Yeppers there is and (800) but there is also a Currency Converter and a list of what they Do Exchange.....I checked the IQD and the VND are not listed.....It just seemed strange to get this out of the blue.

Thank You for the post, Karsten, AND The Best Of Your Evening To You!!! 

 

The Vietnamese Dong does appear to be listed on the Zion Calculator but not the Iraqi Dinar (or Iranian Rial for that matter).

 

 

I would say a pretty healthy buy/sell spread for the Vietnamese Dong that appears to be similar to other currency exchanges.

 

In The Mean Time................................

 

Go Moola Nova (YEAH, BABY!!!)!!!

The currency place I bought my IQD from had a habit of sending me a few VND as a thank you note. So I looked into it then. So as I look into in now I find this article interesting. Maybe I should get some now.

Goggles, what denoms would you buy?

[Goggles]

I would buy the larger denominations because I'd just be sitting on them.
