conversation: User (paris3me): "I live abroad and make money in Euros. Each month, I normally transfer money (minimum payment + a little extra) from my foreign bank account to my american account through services like transfer wise, revolut, etc.\n\nI have the opportunity to take out a 15K+ loan at a very interesting rate and I'm hoping to transfer it all in 1 go to pay off my highest interest loans.\n\nOther than transfer fees, do I need to be conscious of any other issues? I feel like it's all a bit too easy."
  Self: "Not sure if this applies to wire transfers or not, but I can tell you when I deposit more than 10K into a bank account the bank always puts a hold on it for a week or two while the government checks that I'm not a terrorist. You may want to see if this applies to you and plan accordingly. "
