Payments to Foreign Sites Leerin Shields 30 Apr 2007 17:50 EST

Hi everyone -

I was wondering if anyone has run into an issue with bank fees being charged on funds sent to the former Soviet states?  The banks apparently tax each transaction [i.e. every payment that would be sent would be taxed individually].  This issue has only come up twice, but I'm wondering how others have handled it.

Do you just tell the foreign site (in this case Czech Republic) that they have to absorb the additional fee?  Do you go back to the Sponsor and request that the additional fees be added?  Do you use a "neutral" organization like the Civilian Research & Development Foundation (who will funnel the funds, but of course also charge a fee)?  Any advice?  Thanks!

Leerin
