Wow....that's great! My problem has been for the banks in England to grasp the concept that here in Brazil the transfer may be going to bank ABC, and the details are those for bank ABC, with the exception of the swift code, which is always for Banco do Brasil in the city of destination.
They see the destination bank and the swift code don't match and automatically think a mistake has been made. Or they look up bank ABC, and maybe bank ABC has a "cambio", but they only accept dollars, such as with Caixa Economica, then they inform the client, "they don't accept GBP, they only accept dollars."
What they're not understanding is the transfer is FIRST going to banco do brasil, which as far as I'm aware accepts all currencies.
