A local friend in New York bought a property and together we renovated it. In light of the corona he sold quickly and returned the investment to me for the same amount and the same bill.
Bank Hapoalim here asked him to send a letter from his bank. Do you know such a thing?
I sent a contract. I sent k1. I sent a swift that I transferred to an account from which the money returned. I returned the same amount I transferred. It seems to me that this is just a burden on Bank Hapoalim because at Bank Leumi it was enough. The friend from abroad works with many Israelis and told me that this is the first time he has been asked for such a document.
I wrote to the bank that if there is such a daisha then they will prepare a form of what exactly they want from it
Exists in all banks. But it is certainly easier to return to the same bank from which the funds were taken (transferred)
Yes, Bank Hapoalim is the bank with the most requirements regarding transfers from abroad… recommends transferring to an account at another bank, if any…
Real estate transactions are considered high-risk transactions in the US and are suspected of money laundering according to the various regulators in the US. They want to make sure that there is no fear of money laundering. Also, these transactions are reported by Bank Hapoalim to the American authorities as part of the American regulatory requirements which are related to the issue of tax and withholding tax that may apply to the bank in connection with the transaction.
