I made a bank draft from BRAC BANK. they gave me draft of 2 pieces. should i cut the small piece (counter part) and send remain part or send the totat???


please clarify.....urgent.............

[jnathan]

Never ever make DD from banks those dont have any of their own branches in the country where the money is going to be headed. it delays the process.

Yes, keep the small part, its the proof.
Send the bigger part.

to which branch did BRAC Bank send this money ? BRAC has no branch in Canada afik.

[Kartic]

i send from Gulshan Brac bank branch. they send directly to Canadian bank with swift code. many Bangladeshi did in this way..SHOULD IT DELAY MY PROCESS? How i will know should CIC receive my money or not??

[jnathan]

They didnt send it to a Canadian bank using SWIFT until Bangladesh Central bank permitted it, sometimes they do it before getting it thinking that the central bank would permit. anyways, dont worry, the money has already gone and you'll know it when the DD is cashed.

[Kartic]

how i know when the DD will cashed? from bank? money is already gone from my bank account.

Do not argue without knowing anything!

BRAC Bank and many other Banglaldeshi banks have correspondance relationship with Canadian Banks or Banks which have Branches at Canada. There are some permissible items like immigration/education/treatment fees.
These can be sent through DD from Brac Bank and other Banks (Say IFIC Bank).

jnathan, for God's sake do not cnfuse people or do not supply them wrong info. They have come here for proper guidance but people like you confusing them with your ignorance.

If you ask Brac Bank they will show you (they have the statment with them after the dd is encashed or deposited with the beneficiary) the statement how the money went to where.

Thanks Nasim Bhai for your valuable information.

[jnathan]

There is no point of argument. 

To Nasim15,

DO Not Warn or confuse anyone without Knowing anything !
Besides, Which part of my reply you did NOT understand? I am always ready to let ignorant people know the things they ignore.

My Friend worked in that bank and the answered reflected his reply.
BRAC bank has no branch of its own in Canadian soil like Standard Chartered, HSBC, CITI NA etc.
what they have is a bank account with any of the Canadian banks, like Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, The Royal Bank, CIBC, TD (canada Trust). When someone like RPN goes to BRAC Bank in Dhaka, they give you two things, one for the info about the money to be sent and another is the remittance permission form for BD Central Bank. So upon filling up those forms BRAC bank issue a DD and an order is requested to their bank in Canada where they have an account, money is debited from there. I personally dont see anything wrong has been done when the DD was made from BRac bank.

No matter how state of the art SWIFT you use, money cant leave BD for its strict money laundering and outbound remittance policy- that is the possible permission of BD Central Bank. As I said earlier, sometimes they block it if suspicion is detected even after the money has left BD.       

 I personally have seen during my attachment with banking industry that many of the such DD's have been refused by the BD Central bank for fraudulent and money laundering suspicion.
