Wire Transfer
US Dollar wire transfers may be made from almost any country in the world to the Holston Home USA bank account.
Please send an email requesting wire transfer information to tinabrobeck@holstonhome.org . After the request is received, wire instructions will be sent back via email. We are unable to put wire transfer instructions in this document due to security concerns.
The sender is responsible for paying the outgoing wire fee to their bank, the tuition payment, plus the receiving banks fee listed below:
- International (Outside USA): Sending Bank Fee $_____ + Receiving Bank Fee $10.00
- Domestic (Inside USA): Sending Bank Fee $_____ + Receiving Bank Fee $10.00
Example:
If your sending bank charges $30 for an outgoing wire transfer, then add $10 for a total of $40. Therefore, if your payment is $5000, then your total wire transfer amount would be $5,040.
Unacceptable Payment Methods
- Direct Deposits to our Bank of America account are NOT acceptable, as there is no way to identify who made the deposit or what it is for.
- Cash Payment & Hand-Carried Checks for Tuition will NOT be accepted due to potential issues. Before the student departs for Harvest School, the entire cost of tuition must be paid in full.
- The only exception is settling small (less than $50) under-payments due to miscalculation of transaction fees, and PRE-APPROVED exceptions for students coming from countries where other pre-payment methods are not possible.
