logic2301 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just got off the phone with a currency exchange banker with Wells Fargo bank. I was told by the banker that Wells Fargo will not sell or buy the Dinar. She went as far to say that Iraq is a closed country so no Dinar is suppose to come in or out. She also said that there is a pool of fake dinar going around as well. I asked her if the dinar RV then will they take it. She said MAYBE, the word has to come from the federal gov before they would take it. She was really interest as to how I got mine for some odd reason. Hope this helps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drez Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Sounds like this banker is pretty clueless and I would suggest investing with another person at that bank or another bank all together. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yabadabado Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have been into the Wells Fargo branches and they are clueless as expected... it is true they do not have a reason to consider the Iraqi Dinar as they are not openly traded in most banks... those few that are out there are of course an exception to the rule. As Adam and others have stated... "Once the RV occurs everyone will want into the game." I truly believe that we are on the cusp of and RV announcement... I feel it in my bones... cha-cha-cha-.... go RV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVDinar4MyFamily Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I bank with Wells for both personal and business, and I have talked to the bank manager a few times in regards to the dinar, and have been told that since it is not a currency they will exchange, they have very little or no information about it they are just one of those banks that does not deal in the dinar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amandanez Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have talked to Wells Fargo at some length. Exchange fee quoted repeatedly as $1.50. No mention of spread, but they were quite famiiiar with the IQD. Perhaps this particular banker was blowing smoke? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsfordinar? Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 i just talked to Tyra Banks and she knew nothing about the Dinar either..........so that is another 'Banks' that knows nothing...... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captjohn Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 This is comical. She obviously is not educated on the dinar or it's history. Of course, Wells Fargo will buy and sell dinar after RV. They, like all other mainstream banks will not let an opportunity pass to suck dollars out of dinar investors. Wells Fargo sold me Viet Dong so they know all about "closed" countries. Sounds to me like they are either ignorant of foreign markets or pure banking opportunists.....I tend towards the latter. Time will tell. GO RV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyman73 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Most banks will not touch it at all but when it RV's they are going to hold the door open for you and give you a lolly pop. I'm going with Ali.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobina96 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Why are we talking to banks about a currency with a value of .0008 cents on the dollar? Why are we impacted by their limited education or interest in such a currency? Chill dude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have a Wells Fargo account and twice over the last 6 months have talked to their customer service foreign currency people via their customer service 800 number and the first was not encouraging at all as she felt that the IQD would not become tradable for a long time if ever so nothing she needed to worry about, some months later when I called the second time, the girl was very upbeat and said at this time no they would not handle it but when/if it did become a recognized tradable currency I could exchange it for a flat $15 fee and a spread to be determined at the time, however there would be a hold on the money for at least 24 hours due to the fact they would have to send it out to be verified at most branches....but then I think they hold a lot of deposits for 24 hours so that is not that unusual. I just figure when it RV's they like every other bank will be begging for the opportunity to have that money in their bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs71 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 When the dinar hits the forex you can bet Wells Fargo will be on board.Right now most bank branches don't have a clue about the Iraqi dinar. Semper Fi !!! Exactly!! folks have to realize that not every branch is "in the know". Some are and some not. Understandable, since the Iraq currency is not recognized. You can't expect a WF branch in littletown, USA to know what the heck is going on. Secondly, not every branch has a "foreign currency dept" like other big branches. But like Tileman said, once this RV's and Chap 7 is lifted, every bank on the planet is gonna want your business. However, I still believe that none of them will be able to touch the rate that Ali and Ty is going to offer. There may be a few in between, but for the most part, don't count on it.

Don Paul Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) It seems like no one on this site can take advice. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR THE BANKERS ABOUT DINARS (not even considered an EXOTIC currency at this time) What part dont you people understand? Its not a traded currency on the banking world, so its like talking about Ameros or Monopoly money to them. or are you just stuck in the COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA syndrome??

retminded Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks for the post Sounds as if you need to change Reps at your bank, or just change locations. I have had a WELLS FARGO account for quite some time and speak weekly to a foriegn exchange manager about the IQD. I would say that the rep you spoke with just wanted to get away from the subject due to lack of knowledge; sad for you, the investor... ret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traconesu02 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Once this RV's all four of the major banks will exchange iraqi dinar. It does not matter what they say at this point - and quite frankly for the most part you are going to get the same answer. We do not deal with the iraqi dinar... Chase - BOA - Wells and Citi will all take your dinar once the currency is tradable. I certainly would not trust my money with any bank that did not exchange once it is a tradable currency. I can not believe people are still calling their banks about this ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Dog Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have been with Wells Fargo bank for some time now with my Nevada Corp Accounts. I spoke with the Branch Manager, not a teller and she informed me that she knew about Dinar. If I had which I do accounts established at Wells Fargo, there would be no charges to convert the currency. Yes there will a spread but she did not know about that yet. I told her the amount and was told that they will have ways to verify the Dinar. If it does look suspicious, they will send it out to be verified. She knew about all the markings on the bills and also sounded like she knew what was coming down. One thing I have learned with these banks is that you can ask to many questions and they will turn you off. They get out of their comfort zone so to speak. Speak in generalities and you might get better results. Let them tell what they know, don't prod them. This is all IMO of course but I have spoken with the bank on several occasions but always in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not believe people are still calling their banks about this ??? This is exactly why Adam won't release the bank info he's worked out deals with before the RV......everybody would start calling them. A lot of people just don't get it......until the currency is traded on the forex, it does not exist as far sa US banks are concerned. I guarranty that the major bank players in this country have had many high level meetings in preparation of a "possible" RV...BUT they are not going to waste time passing down info to all thier branches that is incomplete, has too many details not determined yet and might or might not happen soon or later. Just because some banks will sell dinar to speculators does not mean they are sure it will RV, now or later.......they are just taking advantage of the current market. And be assured, it is a very small(less than 1% of Americans own dinar) market, which is why a lot of big banks won't even sell it.....there is not enough profit in it for them. Once it trades on the forex, that will change immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is no wonder they get some of the answers that they get. I have heard at time some of these banker people really tell these idiots off, that call them about the iraqi dinar. I can not blame them for saying what they do to them. Anyone that calls their bank and ask them if they will exchange a currency, that is not even worth 1/10th of a penny, has got to have a screw loose. Sorry! That is just the way I feel. And the bottom line is why would any bank want to purchase a currency that is valued at less than a tenth of a penny. Again ! Once it RV's and it has some value - all larger banks will be excited to exchange for you. Thanks for the reply TimS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Fi !!! You would be much better off tracking the forex spread, then comparing it to your banks exchange rate to see if their rate is competitive.......however, all banks don't deal in all currencies....even if they do trade on the forex. So.....you can only plan so much ahead of time, but until thisthing RV's, we won't know for sure what banks will deal with it, or what their spread will be, ect.......we can get ballpark numbers only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
