Re: [tlug] Receiving money internationally

They haven't bugged me for anything new lately but when I set things up, I had to supply the usual IDs and tax numbers. Since they have a JP presence and deal a lot with ex-pats, I would expect the process to be less painful than a regular overseas bank. But I opened my account some years ago so I can't really speak to any KYC changes since then.

Have you seen anything about ToC changes for AML/KYC purposes?  What I
saw for the pp service looked quite strict.

Heh.  I just assume everything in email is processed by NSA servers
(some relabelled "FBI//FISA").
