Ferrari Mailing List: Re: No Ferrari Content NFC - Business Banking Question

[Bill Shaw (b.shaw]

I just went through this with a customer from Indonesia.  The bank 
suggested I open a new account for the transfer,  which I did.  Transfer 
went fine,  goods shipped fine, all is well, and I was comfortable with 
the transaction this way.

Hope yours works out.
