My dad and his accountant were planning to send me some cash via international wire transfer. The accountant told me they would meet at the local bank at 1:30 p.m. in Japan time. I told him it would be my 9:30 p.m., and I would be available to pick up a LINE phone call in case they need to receive any more information or to confirm with me something. The accountant told me once the cash is sent out, he would let me know through LINE.
After 11:30 p.m., the accountant called me and reported two unhappy news.
The first unhappy news was my dad’s all of a sudden changed their plan. They were planning to meet at the local bank, but my dad changed the plan at the last moment. He changed to the local credit union. My dad’s reason was because he still wants to keep it secret to the local bank about my mom’s death. This made me irritated. I thought it is disrespectful for my late mom. It has been more than 7 months since my mom has gone. My dad is reluctant to go through the procedure of changing the name of bank account to be auto-deducted the utility bills. He has two house maids. He can easily ask them to help him. It is not complicated procedure. In August when my dad called me many times like a crazy stoker, he wanted to get the Agreement signed as soon as possible so that he would be able to finish all the procedures regarding changing the bank account name from my mom to him. That was why I accelerated the procedures on my side and sent it back to him very quickly. I have known my dad. He likes to keep things secret. I honestly cannot understand why he wants to keep my mom’s death secret. It causes many involved people into a trouble. Because it is a lie.
The second unhappy news was the accountant could not send the cash today. The local credit union requested the SWIFT code.
I knew my bank does not have SWIFT code. I quickly sent the accountant the URL of bank’s official webpage where stating they don’t have SWIFT code. This bank asks customers to use ABA number instead. I knew the Japanese banks can send money with ABA number from my past experiences. My mom had sent me money through other banks and post office with ABA number instead of the SWIFT code.
The accountant never sent money internationally, so he didn’t have any option left but to bring it back today and asked me to confirm with my bank.
