To pay into non-US accounts, we need to establish banking relationships in other venues. For the most part, we need to do it one country at a time, which is awesomely time-consuming ..... Remember, the requirement is not that you be in the US, but rather than you have an account in a US bank. This is not all that hard for a non-US citizen to do **IF** you can show up physically at a US bank. Thus, if there's a US bank that has an office near you, you can walk in and open an account to which deposits can be made through the US direct-deposit system, and you're in business with FV.

Aren't there some banks or similar companies that are world-wide, but have US branches? I think SwissBankCorp or somebody like that has an office in San Francisco; would it be possible for you to transfer money to someone with an account there who's really in, say, Switzerland or the UK or Hong Kong? #--- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts@ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0664 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281 #--- # Export PGP three lines a time --> http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/ M0V]N9W)E<W,@<VAA;&P@;6%K92!N;R!L87<@+BXN(&%B<FED9VEN9R!T:&4@ M9G)E961O;2!O9B!S<&5E8V@L(&]R(&]F('1H92!P<F5S<SL-"F]R('1H92!R M:6=H="!O9B!T:&4@<&5O<&QE('!E86-E86)L>2!T;R!A<W-E;6)L92P@( T*
