I've had success sending money back and forth across the border by wire
transfer, from their account to yours (I'm Canadian military serving in
the US - in my case, transfer from my accounts here to my accounts
there). You will need to provide them your bank's "Swift" number,
bank, branch, and account numbers (final 3 are on every cheque; Bank
Swift Code:
"Your bank's Swift Code. The Swift Code is a world-wide numeric address
of your banking institution. This is essential only for international
wire transfers." I think they're 8 digit alphabetic, tho this may only
be in Canada).

They push the button, and the money is transferred. Painless, except
for the $40 charge (varies by bank). Works best from USD to USD
accounts.

With the post 9/11 world, large transfers may bring questions from the
feds, who are only doing their jobs.

It's obvious that sending your banking info over the internet is not a
smart thing to do; arrange it in person at the bank, and they'll handle
the whole thing. My money moved in under a hour.
