Custom House

[MandE 0]

Hello,

I've heard of some people using Custom House to transfer money between US accounts and Canadian accounts. Like many people, I'll be moving the States with Canadian loans that will still need to be taken care of.

When I set up Custom House, do I use my US address and info? Also, what credit references are they looking for? I have no idea how to fill in that section

Put in your bank info there

My US bank info or my Canadian?

My US bank info or my Canadian?

Wherever you are currently living. The other bank info will be added when you do a transfer. Talk to a rep. They'll help you through it.

I must be really out of it (or not enough caffeine) but I can't find the signup for CH. Maybe someone can direct me?

okay, so my account should be getting activated sometime tonight.. I've already emailed all my stuff to them with proof of who i am and stuff..

So, what's the best way to learn about how to use the site.. cuz I see links for "trade" and "bid" and then I start thinking of ebay and get all confused!

steps for transferring FROM Canada to USA acct:

2) Under BASIC TRADE , click on ENTER A BASIC TRADE

steps 3-5 on same page

3) Third party NO

4) under SELLING CURRENCY, put in the amount CANADIAN you will be transferring and under what type of currency choose Canadian

5) Under Buying Currency leave the 1st space blank and under currency you want to buy from Vantage, choose USD,then click NEXT

6) Now your picking your transfer method, choose EFT for both (its free) then NEXT

7)Now your picking ur financial institutions! 1st one will be ur Cdn bank, second pul down menu is ur USA bank. They should be listed there already if it is properly set up, click on NEXT

8)Now to the exciting page!!! This is where u see the rate they will be giving you. And there is a REFRESH button just below that rate! U can keep hitting refresh and hope it gets better, it may a tad, or it may not. At this time you can confirm the trade OR CANCEL it!! Ur not stuck to the trade UNTIL you confirm it!! As of 2023 Sunday Custom house would give me $98.59 usd for $100 cdn.

As well you can send money from ur USA acct to Canada. One just has to re-register ur accounts!! This time you do it all online (not mailing.faxing in) takes only a few minutes!!

As well the staff at Customhouse are very friendly and more than happy to walk you through the steps.

When I first set-up Custom House, I set it up to transfer funds from US to Canada. Now I want to transfer funds from Canada to US, but it is asking me to fax in a signed sheet for confirmation. I thought I didn't have to do this once my first account was set-up. Have I done something wrong?

i did ti opposite at first--canada to usa, THEN i wanted to tx $$ from USA to Canada and as I recall (been awhile) one had to do something to do that! I can't recall what, but its not an automatic thing. If you phone them, they can sort it out. office is in Victoria BC so they are still open
