Hi Zach,

Thanks for the reply. If your bank doesn't do international money transfers, could a simple solution be just to write us a cheque and mail it? Let me know what's easiest on your end and if we can do anything on ours to facilitate!

Thanks! Benita

Hi Benita,

Meg and I have a bunch of money for you but the others have experience with the transfer process. I know our bank has stopped doing international money transfers.

Is there a safe way to send a large check in the mail like that? Are there any other suggestions besides transferring the money through Godwin's accounts?

+1, since we currently use PayPal on the site it's probably a decent option. I considered ditching PP on the site after the news that came out about Thiel but then realized that he's no longer associated with the company, I've not been able to find any good reasons not to use it.

Heather, do you have any idea if funds were lost when passed from GDL to Detroit? Was there a translation or currency conversion fee?

Hey Everyone,

When we received the funds from GDL we used paypal. There seem to be a number of reasons to divest from Paypal/not use it, but that probably isn't a conversation to be had in this venue. If you do decide to go with a check or can't use paypal-- I would recommend a cashiers/bankers check and I would mail it certified/first class because it is a large enough sum of money. The issues there are: you have to declare the value and might have to pay taxes on it because of the sum and my other concern would be if they are able to cash it/convert the currency.

Okay, I just transfered the first $3625.68 CAD ($2840 USD) to WRENCH. There will be another $2262.22 CAD ($1772 USD) on its way soon. The final amount should be $1308.57 CAD ($1025 USD).

However, there is a problem. That last amount was in checks and we waited too long to deposit them. Our bank doesn't accept checks that are more than 90 days old. We're currently working on contacting the 5 groups that wrote checks to try to get those funds some other way and will keep you updated as that situation unfolds.

It's looking like PayPal may be the best option. The transfer fee from our paypal account to your the Wrench's bank account is only $4.99. The only problem is that transfers are limited to $2,999 and we have about twice for the BikeBike fund.

Updates from BAB:

I've sent out emails and letters to all the folks who's checks we were unable to deposit and should be hearing back from them in the next few weeks. One person resubmitted their donation for $50 online.

The $1772 that we had in cash is still sitting in our bank account. I am not the main contact person for our paypal account. Jason left the organization a few years ago and I can't find a record of their birth date. It's looking like I'll have to create a new business account with Paypal, which will take a few days since our bank has to verify.

Okay, Heather cleared up issue #2 so I just transferred the $1772 USD from cash donations and an additional $100 USD from the person who resubmitted their payment after their check went stale-dated (I mis-typed earlier when I said it was $50 USD).

You should've received a total of 1872 USD or 2380.79 CAD
